My heamy has said that for PAPS to be diagnosed that I must have at least one of the following from both features.
1. Lab Features
a. Lupus Anticoagulant
b. Antiphospholipid Antibodies
2. Clinical Features
a. Venos Clots (eg
VT)
b. Arterial Clots (eg:Stroke)
c. Obstetric complications
i. Recurrent miscarriage
ii. Unexplained death of foetus beyond 10 weeks gestation
iii. Premature birth of otherwise normal baby before 34 weeks gestation due to pre-eclampsia or placental insufficiency
She can't give me the diagnosis as my son was born 35 weeks due to pre-eclampsia, & growth restricted, (even though its close to the definition , its not close enough!). That along with a positive Lupus Anticoagulant in my bloods, is basically not enough to diagnose me:
though I do suffer from Migraines, extreme fatigue, poor memory, stiffness (but no swelling) in hands, wrists, neck, & frequent pins & needles attacks. Sensitive to sunlight. Sister with MS.
It does appear that I obviously don't tick enough of the boxes!!:wacko:
So I was wondering "How we you diagnosed"
Thank you
