What can I expect with Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS)?

My 67 yr old, healthy husband has been hospitalized 5 times since Aug 31. He had been experiencing extreme fatigue. A MRI uncovered multiple acute & sub-acute strokes, PE's, a DVT and many clots in his arms. After going down multiple rabbit holes, being on Eliquis first - second stroke - changed to coumadin - third stroke - coumadin + aspirin - 4th stroke - most recently tiny stroke due to HBP. He was put on Lovenox in November and it seems to be helping keep the clots at bay. His extreme fatigue is still present. Anyone else have this experience of extreme fatigue?

Has home health care ! PT for almost two years ! His legs still not much better! And he has no stamina , he complains of fatigue ! His age also
Has a lot to do with his condition! His vitals are excellent ! He has a ICD! Takes one RX ! For his heart , And two RX for his type two diabetic condition ! Sits in his chair most of the day ! Except trips to the bathroom
! He is also on oxygen ! Day and night ! Is always fatigued ! He is 87

Hello @kaford80 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. What a shock this all must've come as given your husband being otherwise healthy. Please consider joining members in the stroke discussion below:
