For the last couple of months, I've experienced periodic extreme fatigue and I get petechiae (small red dotted rash) on my legs and chest. Are these typical symptoms any of you have experienced with your Von Willebrand Disease? What do you do about it?

I am curious, my husband has O negative blood and his friend also has negative blood. These are the only 2 hemophiliacs I know. I was wondering if there is a correlation with negative blood and hemophilia? Also, my husband has a MTHFR mutation, which makes his body less able to detox, among other things.

I live in Michigan, and we have Childrens Special Health, that covers hospitalizations, factor, and supplies, with no cap.
I'm looking to moving somewhere possibly warmer in the future, and I'm curious about coverage in other states. I'm a very special, and severe case, and want to be sure I'll get the coverage that would keep me healthy.

I don't have hep-c but know of some people that does or did. They now have treatment for it.
Hi, my 3 year old son has moderate hemophilia, level 3.
He had a nasty bruise on his forehead that has swelled up to a golf ball size, and has rebled a little.
Apart from trans acid, is there anything any of you guys have used to stop the bleeding and support recovery?
We are very worried
Thanks so much
David
