Had a stroke due to lupus anticoagulant. how do i prevent another one?

Blood thinner: If it is confirmed that antiphospholipid syndrome (lupus anticoagulant is part of it) caused your stroke, then blood thinner such as warfarin (coumadin) may be of benefit. You need to consult a neurologist to make sure it is a right choice.
