I was diagnosed and survived CAPS on the 28th of October 2023. I am still in the hospital since the 28th of October of 2023. Two months were spent in the ICU.
I pray that no one gets C.A.P.S.

Thanks for this! My story so far: Had 2 baby’s in my early 20s Had one miscarriage in early 30s, had a baby(awful and scary pregnancy) then 2 miscarriages after this pregnancy then stopped trying. Then a few years later diagnosed with triple positive APS without any other events, Lupus, and Celiac. Only med for APS is daily baby aspirin (when I remember).

Thank-you. I have/had APS(but no real issues), CLL & CNSlymphoma. This talk has just confirmed that I did the right things back when I was young.

My partner was a healthy 49 year old male. Albeit with a little high cholesterol. After getting the C19 vaccine, he ended up with a blood clot in his abdomen, which cut blood supply to 1 of his toes. Which caused gangrene in his toe. He had a stent put into his abdomen, and the affected toe cut off. And lots of blood tests. First, they thought it was lupus. Now it's APS. 4 months later, he is getting another toe cut off. Due to gangrene. But Dr's can't find any new blockages. He is on clexaine, warfarin, statin & aspirin.
It's not hereditary, as no one in his family has ever been diagnosed with any of the above. They will not accept that it could be from the vaccine.
