Yes: Absolutely, at the very least you should be on aspirin. I am surprised you are not getting any blood thinner medicine like warfarin after your stroke/cerebral infarction. You have anti phospholipid antibody syndrome-will suggest you to see hematologist. Also, . With positive ana, aca-igm and back pain, as well as stroke-you need to see a rheumatologist to eval autoimmune problem like sle.
