I was Probably 20, went to donate Plasma and this experence was weird for me. I don't know if it even means anything at all. I went to the center in the morning, with my sister(she wanted company). i had at least 2 cups of water( this was the morning). It took me 45 minutes to do what my sis had done in 30, so after almost an hour her Plasma bottle was full. Mine being 3/4 of the way full. Sisters Plasma was like pee, mine was like jello(hardly moved unless u wiggled bottle but still thick). When they pulled the bowl out(that spins the blood to separate the plasma from the blood) it was thicker then Nyquil, with looked like either a whole lot of clots or one big blood buger(lol). Sometimes when I  went to the center, I wouldn't bleed out of either arm. So I started drinking lots and lots of water, and taking asprin just so that maybe I could bleed out of one of the two arms.  Comments please, have you seen or experienced this?

It is called APS. In england its called hughes syndrome.
It causes the blood to clot quicker,

It is found by two simple blood tests, the bloodtests being ACL, and LA.
Ones called the anticardiolipin, and the other is called lupus anticoagulant.
They are both names of the bloodtests to find APS. But you dont need both to test positive, you can have just one, and some people test positive on them both.

Good luck
Nicola.
