Segment On Aps Airing On Discovery Health Posted: 02-25-06 15:53pm
Hello!
Hopefully the moderators won't mind me
posting about this...Sorry if I am
breaking any group rules.
On march 6th, the discovery health channel
will be airing mystery diagnosis and one
of the segments during the show is going
to be about a young woman who has aps.
The show is going to be on at 10pm est.
As far as we know, this is the date and
time, I will send around an update if this
information changes.
This is a great opportunity to help get
the word out about aps! :d

Aps stands for antiphospholipid antibody
syndrome. It's a blood disorder.
Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome or aps
is an autoimmune disorder in which the
body recognizes certain normal components
of blood and/or cell membranes as foreign
substances and produces antibodies against
them. Patients with these antibodies may
experience blood clots, including heart
attacks and strokes, and miscarriages.
Aps may occur in people with systemic
lupus erythematosus, other autoimmune
diseases, or in otherwise healthy
individuals.
Aps is also known as apls, apla, hughes
syndrome or "sticky blood."
