You are looking at a charity sticker to help generate awareness of APS. This large blood drop graphic is a transparent .png file and will work on any HP background.
By purchasing this sticker, you are helping me, Zoa, to create more products to put into the catalog, and you are also helping to spread awareness of APS. In 2006, I suffered a stroke, and was soon after diagnosed with APS. It has since changed my life. If you want to know more of my story, and how I am living with APS, then visit my HP. Aloha nui and mahalo nui loa for your time in reading this.
Antiphospholipid Syndrome [APS] is a newly diagnosed autoimmune disease where the afflicted person's blood is targeted by the body's immune system. Specifically, the phospholipid - that membrane that holds a red blood cell together - is attacked, causing the blood to clot as it tries to protect itself.
Closely related to Lupus, APS could be a root cause in...
- Stroke
- Chronic miscarriages
- Blood clots anywhere at anytime

- Enlarged heart, heart attacks

- Vitamin deficiencies
- Chronic anemia
