Bad News: Today I found out thatI have lupas anticoagulant syndrome; which basically means that I have an abnormally high risk of blood clotting because my antibodies see plasma proteins as the bad guys.   This is especially bad news because I’m on birth control for PCOS.  As everyone knows birth control increases the risk of blood clots.  So what does that mean for me?  an even scarier risk of developing a serious blood clot.  Apparently I have to make an appointment with a hematologist to figure out what needs to be done.   The thought of having to be on blood thinners for the rest of my life is really scary … I really hope that nothing serious happens to make that my only option.  

My labs also showed a slightly high (bad) cholesterol levels.  More motivation to eat right? If this isn’t i’m not sure anything ever will be.  

So that’s that.    :/
