EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
APS (also known as “sticky blood syndrome”) makes the blood clot too easily. It is often the cause of multiple miscarriages and is potentially fatal. Increasingly common, it threatens to become more prevalent than MS and lupus. This book takes an important look at this dangerously under-diagnosed autoimmune disease and provides medical information, case studies, and patient interviews to help the reader learn to cope.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 7 reviews)

decent book - worth reading  
This book contains helpful information for anyone suffering from APS and anyone who wants to understand the disease from a layman's point of view. The index contains some great resources for further research.

Very good for the newly diagnosed  
This book should be a starting point in the search for answers when diagnosed with APS. I have been diagnosed over 7 years by now, and have found precious little information out there. This book is listed on the APS online support group website. This book is mostly testimonial but I found it is also informative, setting a good foundation for future doctor's office visits, since most doctors don't know much more than we do at this point. Keep in mind that while doctors will be interested in your comparisons to the testimonials in this book, what they will take more seriously is medical journals and articles written by experienced doctors in the field who can confirm what you probably already know.

Really Pulls It All Together  
I have done a lot of online research regarding APS. While most sites have nice information, it is usually only a page or two, highlighting bits and pieces. This book really pulls it all together, clearly linking symptoms to help define the "big picture" - both historical and forward looking. It is also in an easy to read format that covers a good amount of information without being overwhelming. Nice credibility with the Foreword by Dr. Hughes and Dr. Roubey. This is a must have for APS patients and family!
