Re: RESEARCH - Are steroids a consistent risk factor for infections

Oh dear, so sorry to hear of your syndrome. You say " yet another autoimmune

disease " . I was shocked to find out there are over a hundred such things, many

overlapping. I read a book by Donna Nakazawa called The Autoimmune

Epidemic that my husband brought home for me from the library. It was pretty

compelling and I learned much about the whole autoimmune disease scenario.

She also has a website :

Yes, they did. They think I have antiphospholipid syndrome, they are not

sure yet. I have to undergo different scans after the coumadin, to make sure i

have no more blood clots anywhere and also if I have this syndrome that has

lingered continue on the blood thinners, they test that with blood tests.

I am told antiphospholipid syndrome is ANOTHER damn autoimmune disease.
