MY daughter has Antiphosphilipid AD. I know that it is a blood disorder and can cause Lupus and a lot of other problems, but she is having a real hard time dealing with this. When it first started, I took her to the Dr. because she was having trouble breathing. They thought she had pneumonia and prescribed her medication for that. She continued to get worse over a period of a week until I demanded she be hospitalized. They didn t have a clue as to what was going on except to say she still had pneumonia and they didn t know why nothing was working. It wasn t until a Village Girl died in the helicopter on the way to the hospital that they finally discovered what was wrong with my daughter. Her lungs were not full of fluid, but blood. She had been in ICU for 2 wks and on a ventilator for 8 days by the time they finally found out what was wrong with her. She is on blood thinners, morphine for pain and lots of other medications. There are so many foods that she can t eat now and she is just so depressed, I am at a loss as to how to help her. She has lost the use of half of right lung ad 1/4 of her left . She is on oxygen constantly and if we go somewhere, she has to carry a portable tank with her. She is 35 years old. Thank you,
