I was diagnosed with APS after I developed blood clots in small veins- first in my eyes - retinal occlusions. Blood thinners were recommended but I chose to just do baby aspirin. Then a few years later, I experience Sudden Sensorial Hearing Loss in one ear, and six months later the second ear. Both happened overnight and nothing brought the hearing back. I have at best 30% hearing in both ears. I'm now diligent about taking blood thinners and have not had further blood lots to my knowledge. I'd be interested if anyone has a similar story. So far, I've only heard of sudden hearing loss in one ear and not coupled with APS. Otherwise, I have no symptoms. I'm an otherwise a healthy and active 73 year old and grateful for it.

I have been on low dose aspirin for many years. Had a stroke in January 2023 and prescribed Lipitor and Plavix. Now Dr wants me to take Warfarin instead of Plavix. Any thoughts
