By Linda on Dec 1, 2011 in F.I.G.H.T.
Linda Comments: When I was first diagnosed, I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus, RA, Fibro and CFS.
Background: Antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) positive patients and
patients with purported chronic Lyme disease (‘CLD’) share many clinical
features. After identifying significant aPL in sera of several index
patients with ‘CLD’, we performed aPL tests on all patients referred
inwhom ‘CLD’ was suspected, diagnosed or treated.
