APS Companion: 101 Questions Answered About Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Unlock Answers. Reclaim Control. Live Informed.
Being diagnosed with Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) can be overwhelming, confusing, and at times isolating. APS Companion is here to change that. Written by Dr. Gerald Rappaport, a physician and federal medical examiner with decades of experience in autoimmune and environmental illness, this essential guide provides clear, compassionate, and medically accurate answers to the 101 most common questions newly diagnosed patients—and their families—ask.
Whether you’re facing your first clot, managing pregnancy risks, or trying to make sense of confusing lab tests, this book meets you where you are. With straightforward explanations, real-life case examples, and practical tips, APS Companion helps you understand your diagnosis, navigate treatments like anticoagulation, and advocate for your care in a fragmented healthcare system.
Inside you’ll find:
- What APS is—and what it isn’t
- How it’s diagnosed and what the lab results actually mean
- Why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and miscarriages are more than “just stress”
- The latest on treatments, including Lovenox, warfarin, DOACs, and aspirin
- Special considerations for pregnancy, children, men, and long COVID patients
- What to ask your doctor, how to interpret risks, and when to seek second opinions
- Plus: stories from real patients, glossary of terms, and resources for support
APS Companion is more than a book—it’s a lifeline for the newly diagnosed and a trusted reference for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals alike.
