Be Patient With Yourself
#Fatigue, #flares, and lifestyle changes can be difficult at first. Give yourself grace.

Connect With Community
Support groups (online or in-person) can offer emotional support and practical advice.

Understand Your Treatment Plan
You may need blood thinners (anticoagulants) like #warfarin, #Lovenox, or #aspirin to reduce clot risks.

Track Your Symptoms
Keep a #journal of symptoms, triggers, and medications to help your doctor fine-tune your care.

Getting a diagnosis of Antiphospholipid Syndrome (#APS) can feel overwhelming, but take a deep breath. You are not alone, and there are resources, support, and treatments to help you live well.

Ideally, a rheumatologist or hematologist with APS experience.

5. You’re in Control
Simple exercises (like stretching, walking, chair yoga, or gentle resistance) can be done at your own pace, tailored to how you feel day to day.

4. Reduces Stress
Exercise helps regulate stress hormones and calm the nervous system, which may ease autoimmune flares and improve sleep.

3. Boosts Energy and Mood
Even 10 minutes of light movement a day can increase endorphins, fight fatigue, and improve mental clarity — all common challenges for people with APS.

2. Supports Joint and Muscle Health
Low-impact activity helps keep your joints flexible and muscles strong, which is important when dealing with inflammation, stiffness, or autoimmune flares.

1. Improves Circulation
Regular movement helps prevent blood from pooling, especially in the legs — reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other clot-related complications.

Living with Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) can bring fatigue, joint pain, swelling, and a higher risk of blood clots. While intense workouts may feel out of reach, gentle, simple exercises can play a powerful role in maintaining your health and well-being.

Did you know there was such a thing? Do you get them?

Today, we bring you the symptoms of an #APS Flare!

For those who have #Lupus, you'll notice that these are very similar to a Lupus #flare.

#AntiphospholipidSyndrome

Myth: Only older or sick people get blood clots

Fact: Anyone can get a blood clot, even if they are young - that includes children and healthy people.

When did you first start clotting?
