APS and Lupus Genetic link?
My Uncle who died aged 50 about 20 years ago had recurrent blood clots in his leg from age 30, the first resulting in the
amputation
of his toe after dropping something on it causing gangrine. Anyway, he had progressive amputations until his leg was removed at the hip.

AMPUTATION OR MEDICATION?

Has anyone faced amputation?
He said there have been no advances with APS treatments and I should consider
amputation
. We could try surgery again, but I will clog up eventually. Lots to digest. Has anyone else had
amputation
of a limb because of APS? Advice???

AMPUTATION VERSUS BENEFITS OF ANTI-COAGULATION MEDS?
Per my earlier post about facing
amputation
, thank you so very much for responding/advice. I will seek a second opinion! I have never been put on aggressive anti-coagulation; just take a low-dose aspirin daily.

Amputation - The options.
After countless operations including leg stretch surgery he has taken the decision to go for below leg
amputation
. His consultant is against this decision, he wanted to amputate the rest of his toe stumps as these keep blistering.

THE DAY MY WORLD STOOD STILL
it cut me off, from the world of sound for ever Them doctors were smart and brilliant There is always ‘plan B’ they assured me A high-Tech gadget they buried under my skull Cochlear implant is the way forward As an alternative route back to the world of sound My feet, it left with partial
amputation

Has anyone out there been mis-diagnoised with Raynaurds to find out later that they actually had Buergers Disease?
I have been diagnoised with Buergers Disease and have currently over the last year lost 8 of my ten fingers by
amputation
due to circulation problems : ( I, like many of you, have low blood pressure readings and take medication for it.

Pedalling and Scleroderma Awareness Week!
Don offered to help the RSA after a childhood friend who suffered from scleroderma died from septicemia following a leg
amputation
last year at the age of 42. So far the challenge has raised over £17,000 for the RSA's Cool Million campaign but we're really hoping to reach £20,000.

A staggering 68% of parents are unaware that meningitis vaccinations do not protect their children from all forms of meningitis...
Research released earlier this week shows that a staggering 68% of mums and dads are unaware of the limitations of current vaccinations against meningitis. Although great strides have been made to protect children from some types of meningitis, there is currently no vaccine to protect against

Plumping for
amputation
below the knee - drastic I know, but the nail up my shinbone is very unlikely to be removed, to allow an attempt at another fusion using external fixators.And I have donor bone since mine is missing from two previous ankle replacements.

Much help needed please. . . SSc DUs complicated by Raynaud's. . . Throbbing pain & no sleep in over a month
Hello, I live in New Jersey with my boyfriend & our 2 month old son. My boyfriend was diagnosed with Scleroderma & Raynaud's at about age 9. He is now age 28, far exceeding the doctor's initial expectations on mortality. Upon diagnosis, which was not easy to come by, he was treated quite aggressively
