Wondering if anyone has Antiphospholipid syndrome, what anticoagulation you’re on and if you have had a clot FYI I was recently djagnosed with lupus and my lupus anticoagulant level has been elevated and has increased since last time so my rheumatologist put me on a baby aspirin daily.. Thx in advance for your help!!
I have been and I was on 365 coated aspirin until I had strokes and then Plavix which will not stop strokes then put on warfarin and still on warfarin and will always have to be due to having strokes.
I'm currently on cumidin but I'm getting ready to switch over to Eliquis 5mg 2 times daily.
Why won't my INR level out?
I'm on Eliquis now and I love it! It is working for me beautifully. No more fluctuations.
Is anyone able to share information on having APLS along with Lupus?
Thank you for this information. I never knew why I couldn't use the other meds for this. Happy I know now! Having a difficult time trying to stay at a theraputic level. Everytime I changed drugs for… read more

@Coumadin and Colonoscopy -
In a few days I am scheduled to have a colonoscopy/EGD to look for the reason I am severely anemic. I am also on @Coumadin since I have Antiphospholipid Syndrome in addition to Lupus. The directions for the colonoscopy prep say to stop my @Coumadin 4 days before the procedure but I'm curious if I need to be put on Lovonox in the meantime. My PCP nurse says that I'll be taken off everything and then bridged back to @Coumadin with @Lovenox after the procedure but I… read more
Every time I have surgeries, I'm always taken off of it for many days. They will hook you up in the recovery. You'll be fine.

CN-SP is the acronym for combinatorial nutraceutical-super pill. I developed it in my research laboratory to stimulate adult-derived telomerase positive stem cells, that each of us have inside ourselves, to promote healing of damaged tissues. It is a… read more
Hi Henry: Checking in to confirm that you received my baseline tests? Thank you, Mary
Cymbalta for pain, anyone?
Does it help with stomach pain and headache?
I have them right now and I don’t want to exacerbate it
I was diagnosed with lupus when I was admitted to the hospital for a DVT in my femoral vein and multiple pulmonary embolisms in my lungs. They put me on the blood thinner Coumadin to handle the clots. I am having a flare and everything is hurting. I can't get comfortable sitting or laying down. It's impossible right now. I was going to take a Vicodin but I wasn't sure if it would affect my Coumadin or any of my other medications.
What's the mg of aspirin I should take for
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome?
Waiting for neurology appointment.
Asiprin 81 mg
