On June 25th, Judy Smith did an interview with Fox News in Tampa Bay. Judy has had several miscarriages and at one point thought she had MS. It wasn't until her Dr. did a simple blood test that revealed she had a potentially life threatening illness called APS.
She can not stress the importance of the APS Foundation of America, Inc (http://www.apsfa.org), and how it has played a part in helping her cope with this disease. Not only do they have a support group for others with APS, but they are the only "United States nonprofit health agency dedicated specifically to bringing national awareness to Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APS), the major cause of multiple miscarriages, thrombosis, and young strokes and heart attacks."
"Knowing more about APS can make all the difference. Get in the Know and Get in the Flow!"
Please watch this video as it may help someone you know.
