I'd like to meet:

If you know me you know I want everyone one to know about APS! I've had 3 stillborn babies from this disease called Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome! R.I.P. my angel babies ~ Madeline Irene @ 27 weeks on 9/10/00 1lb 8oz ~ JP @ 29 weeks 2lb 1oz on 9/26/03 ~ Angel @ 20 weeks on 5/9/04 7oz!************************************************APS is an autoimmune disorder. Such illnesses occur when the body’s tissues are attacked by its own substances. In APS, the body recognizes certain components of blood or cell membranes as foreign substances and produces antibodies--a specialized protein the body uses to prevent infection--against them. It is the major cause of strokes in persons under 40 years old, blood clots (thrombosis) – which can lead to heart attack or stroke – vision disturbances and repeated, otherwise unexplainable miscarriages.APS often is found in conjunction with lupus, another autoimmune disorder that primarily targets women.Knowing more about APS can make all the difference. Get in the know and Get in the Flow!The APSFA is the only United States health agency dedicated specifically to bringing national awareness to APS. We are a volunteer-run, community-based, non-profit organization.For more information Website Address: www.apsfa.org.********************************************** **
