June is APS Awareness Month
June 24, 2024 9:50AM EDT
APS is Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome. It’s a blood clotting disorder. I was diagnosed with APS back in 2006.
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. There are two known forms. APS may occur in people with systemic lupus erythematosus, other autoimmune disease, or in otherwise healthy individuals.
Wear the color burgundy this month in support. World APS day was on June 9th.
