Hi there,
I'm one of those who will never know. I tested a very high positive for anti-phospholipid antibodies and, at the same time, had lots of problems with headaches, concentration problems etc. I was to be retested 6 weeks later and the rheumy duly ordered the bloodtest but the lab managed to break the tube! In the meantime I had been put on imuran (which I am told can alter results after a while) and have not tested positive since. My rheumy and neuro still want me to take apsirin (100mg daily) and often check with me to make sure I am actually taking it.
My rheumy always checks this, at every blood test, but I don't know if that is normal. They do tend to do quite a lot of bloodtests here as pretty much routine.
