I was diagnosed back in 2003. When I 1½ year ago found the first homepage with a list of typical symptoms of APS, I was stunned over how much fits what I have experienced. In the mid 70's I got very strong migrane like headaches. That went on till I had a stroke in 1997. Since 1997 it has been gone most of the time. I had for several years a "sleeping" foot. If I stood still too long my left foot got numb. In 2001 it shiftet to a strong burning pain. My doctor send me to a local hospital so they could find out what troubled me. Took then over 18 months, the result was APS and the fact that my left leg was shut off for over 80 % of the normal blood supply. In Aug 2004 I got that fixed, I had a balloon angioplasty and got a stent insertet in both my legs. In Dec 2005 I was hospitalized to be examed for a heart attach. I had luck, there was not a problem with that. But thy did find a bloth clot in the atrium chamber in my heart. It is located from the vena cava inferior and to the trikuspidal valve, which is partly covered by the clot. There is no cure for it. It is located so that the doctors do not dare to even try to remove it. It gives me daily chestpain and a short breath. At the moment I'm waiting to have my lungs examed and have a new test of the bloodsupply to my legs. The past 2 months the numb feeling in my left leg have returned.... So.... you are not alone with APS.....! Best whises Steen J. Denmark You are not alone with APS. I was diagnosed back in 2003.

In the mid 70’s I got very strong migrane like headaches. That went on till I had a stroke in 1997. Since 1997 it has been gone most of the time.

At the moment I’m waiting to have my lungs examed and have a new test of the bloodsupply to my legs. The past 2 months the numb feeling in my left leg have returned….

Its a shame you can't talk about your religion. you know people are so concerned with " being politicially correct." no body will have the same point of view. you know Melissa maybe thats your ministry. to make a christian board about the illness to be able to minister to those who struggle with it. that would be great to do.
