As I get ready to shoot another 9 MGS into my stomach, I can't help but hate the world again. I'm not out of the woods and I don't feel like I ever fucking will be. Reading up on this wonderful diease I have, I found that things really arn't looking my way at all. Check this out....
Lupus anticoagulant is a protein that increases the risk of developing blood clots in both the veins and arteries. These clots may block blood flow in any part of the body, leading to strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms, deep vein thrombosis (usually clots in the legs)- Already knew that, been there done that!
, and to recurrent fetal loss, especially in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters (thought to be related to clotting in placental blood vessels).--Didn't know the baby was still at risk of being born dead!
The lupus anticoagulant is an acquired, not inherited, condition. Although it is found most frequently in those with autoimmune diseases, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and HIV, the lupus anticoagulant may also be seen chronically or temporarily in those with infections or cancers and in those who are taking certain medications, such as phenothiazines, chlorpromazine, procainamide, and fansidar. -- Humm, I don't think that I have cancer, been tested for everything including HIV and sexually transmitted garbage. Of course the doctor could not be telling me whats really wrong with me? maybe
It is thought to be present in about 1 - 2% of the general population, and may develop in people with no known risk factors. -Wow if thats me the 1-2% I must be really fucking lucky!
