Many people believe that Lynn Faulds died from Bowel Cancer, which she was diagnosed with 30 years ago. But on her first death anniversary, his husband told the reporter that she had a stroke caused by a disease that few people have heard of.
Antiphospholipid syndrome(APS) is a difficult-to-remember disease. APS, also known as Hughes syndrome or sticky blood, is a female predominant autoimmune disease.

It activates the immune system, causing it to produce abnormal antibodies. This causes blood platelets to clump together, resulting in clots, strokes, and heart attacks.
However, as Lynn’s case demonstrates, many doctors still fail to recognize the symptoms. As a result, Far too many people are dying unnecessarily.
Lynn, who has survived both skin and bowel cancer, discovered APS while working on a documentary series for ITV called The Ladykillers.
She promised to raise awareness about the issue. She talked about making a documentary about APS and brought it up as often as she could in media interviews.
But it took some time for Lynn to realize she, too, was a victim. Following her diagnosis, she experienced two dangerous falls, severe headaches, balance issues, and dizziness.
Despite this, she was fine, and her blood was thinning until she had a stroke that night. The doctors explained that it was caused by a massive bleed in the brain.
Warfarin, it appears, can thin the blood so much that this is what happened. A drug meant to save her ended up killing her, he stated.
