Raglet,
Having just read throught the whole article I can see no-where that they say that APS can be cured. Sure, some patients had great improvements in their health once treated correctly, but that is different from cured.
I was under the impression that your mobility and ballance issues were primarily from CNS Lupus. This is of course a very differnt pathology than APS. Certainly I don't want to minimise your difficulties, but there are many people for whom life after diagnosis and treatment is better than before, and for you too - who knows - with your aggressive disease course you may well have died long before now without treatment, and thank goodness we still have you with us:blush:.
I do agree that to say APS is a less serious diagnosis that MS is inappropriate. Catastrophic APS is often fatal - as the article also mentions. And some people live long near normal lives with MS. So I think it is unfair to wish someone APS instead of MS. No-one in their right mind wants either.
The point is - better the right diagnosis and the right treatment than the wrong one.
Wishing you lots of good days:hug:
