Hi @stephchurch, I was diagnosed with APS as well. Just wondering what your experience with it is? I am constantly concerned about blood clots and often experience shortness of breath and severe aches in my back,neck, knees. I’m only 21 and am borderline for developing lupus in the future.

@elizabeth513 Concern about blood clots is a lot for a 21 yr old. Has your doctor given you any guidance on preventing them?

Hi Elizabeth, I haven’t had any issues with blot clots but we follow precautions. I work in healthcare and wear compression socks when I’m on my feet all day. I had a hysterectomy last October, I cannot have any hormone replacement therapy and they do have me on DVT precautions when flying long distance. I just remember, keep moving. Keep your legs going and if you feel pain and swelling and and they are hot don’t ignore it.
