What Causes Mild Chest Cold And Body Aches In A Patient With Antiphospholipid Syndrome?
let me start by letting you know I have antiphospholipid syndrome. Last saturday I went to a bon fire and I got probably 30 mosqito bites on my legs, ankles, and bottom. Two days later my feet and ankles swelled to an alarming size and were tingly, on day four I felt like I had a mild chest cold and I was so extremly tired that I slept the whole day and night. Yesterday I started drinking only water and lots of it the swelling in my feet and ankles went down a little. Today which is day 6 since the symptoms started, I felt decent most of the day and then around 7:30 I got a really bad headache, my tempature shot up and i lost every ounce of energy, and i started having body aches and again it feels like I have a chest cold without the cough. Please help me.

The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an acquired
autoimmune condition. The clinical features are thrombosis
(venous, arterial and microvascular) and/or pregnancy
complications and failure. It is important to recognize the
syndrome in the context of these problems and to institute
appropriate therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence.
there
have been many claims of other clinical associations with
aPL. Thrombocytopenia, heart valve disease (which is most
commonly occult), chorea, livedo reticularis/racemosa and
nephropathy are likely associations, although like the thrombotic
and pregnancy manifestations.
consult your doctor for heparin therapy and thoroughly check by your doctor and go for treatment.
