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

Segment On Aps Airing On Discovery Health
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."
