He definately wasn't as anxious as in the past. He just asked what we were doing there. He couldn't remember my name, but knew my mom's & brother's. After I'd told him, he didn't forget it. He remembers his grandkids (my kids). Apparently they have tweaked his anxiety meds. & it seems to be working. He was mor...

Antiphospholipid Syndrome Information
Antiphospholipid syndrome (or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome) is a disorder of coagulation which causes thrombosis in both arteries and veins, as well as recurrent miscarriage. It is due to the autoimmune production of antibodies against cell membrane constituents. It is occasionally referred to as Hughes' syndrome after the rheumatologist Dr Graham R.V. Hughes (St. Thomas' Hospital, London, UK).
A very rare form is the catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, in which there is rapid organ dysfunction and failure. It carries a high mortality.
Often, this disease is treated by giving aspirin to inhibit platelet activation, and/or warfarin as an anticoagulant. The goal of the prophylactic treatment is to maintain the patient's INR between 2.0-3.0. It is not usually done in patients who have not had any thrombotic symptoms. During pregnancy, heparin is used instead of warfarin because of warfarin's teratogenicity.
Women with recurrent miscarriage are often advised to take aspirin and to start heparin (or low molecular weight heparin) treatment after missing a period. This is the most effective treatment at the moment.
