It is common after an initial Lyme infection to have this. Anyone else either diagnosed or treated for Lyme and APS? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21729977/ Posted by map1131 (Member # 2022) on :
In Lyme world it's known as hypercoagulation. Many Lyme docs use heparin to thin out the blood.
You can find hundreds of posts on here over the years.

I have had APS, also known as Hughes Syndrome, for a long time. Don't think it will ever go away.
Always seems abx make my blood "thicker" and for abx to be effective I must have heparin.
What has been your experience?

The article is just another attempt to try to explain away any complications caused by Lyme disease infection.
Could I have had APS before Lyme? Yes.
Does APS disappear after Lyme disease infection is gone? We'd have to know the Lyme was truly gone then, and how would we ever be able to prove that?
Lots of women have APS and don't know it until they've had miscarriages. Good docs now test pregnant patients for it. They should be also testing anyone who wants to get pregnant.
Does it mean all the women who've miscarried have had Lyme disease? No. But it would be interesting to know other causes.
