Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 , Thank you as always for the website. My Vickie, while on birth control pills, threw a blood clot on her optic never and she lost 2/3 of her eyesite in her left eye. This syndrome also necessitated Vickie to be on blood thinning shots during her entire pregnancy. Apparently, this is a hereditary condition and my youngest daughter is going to be tested prior to going on birth colntrol pills. It was a terrifying time in our lives. Thank you again.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'm sorry about what happened to Vickie, Debs. Was her vision loss permanent? Several people in my family have antiphospholipid antibodies. Not an MD On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 3:35 PM, <BadKneesDebs@...> wrote: > > > , > > Thank you as always for the website.
