Hi. I suffer from anti-phospholipid, or Hughes syndrome. It is an autoimmune disorder. In the time when I was diagnosed, I thought I have Alzheimer’s disease. I take Plaquenil to treat my skin rash and pain. I would like to hear from somebody with experience how can I help myself? How to live with anti-phospholipid syndrome?
Hi. I suffer from Anti-phospholipid Syndrome too. I had bad headaches when I was a teenager, and now, in my 40s, they are back. I also have double vision. Take Omega-3 (fish oil), it will reduce the risk of thrombosis. This is the only home treatment that is effective. If you are lady, and pregnant, don`t use fish oil because it contains large amounts of Vitamin A. There is no cure for our disease, but long term (lifelong) treatment can relieve the symptoms. I had to quit smoking and I exercise regularly.
