Anticardiolipin antibodies

[~StarBright~]

Hi my name is kat
I have recently found out i have anticardiolipin antibodies, i know i need to take aspirin to thin my blood and prevent clots, but this is all i really know.
If anyone has any info or would like to share stories, please feel free.

Thanks

ta deb!

I did read that before.
Ironically you wrote all of that one week after i lost Zahra, and yes, you have helped someone!!

i will do as you recomend and write everything down.

For other people who might read this i will give a quick run down on a few things that my body does, if this is similar to anyone else who has anti.... it may be usefull, or it may have nothing to do with it. I guess i will know if other girls have similar experiences.....

I get very dizzy when it gets hot. Either weather hot or if i am doing dishes with really hot water or cooking over a hot stove. Even just standing up for long periods of time is bad. I get blotchy vision and need to sit down.

I dont have much of an appetite usually. If i dont eat first thing in the morning, i feel sick all day and cant eat. Same as when i do get hungry - if i dont eat right away, i start to feel sick and cant eat even if i want to.

I can not drink alcohol with out becoming violently ill. I will be sick for a whole 24 hours and have uncontrolable vomiting even if i only have one drink.

I have been checked for stomach ulcers and i haven't got one, so i am thinking this all may be connected to my blood somehow ???
ike i said, this all may have nothing to do with it, i am just putting it out there in case by some miracle someone else has the same troubles!

Thanks for looking anyway!
