I posted an in detail story about what’s happening, but in short. I need multiple surgeries and I am constantly being canceled by the oncologist for numerous reasons (not financial) for some ridiculous reasons such as dates, locations, etc. no referrals or rescheduling, no nothing, just cancels the surgery and surgeons eventually get annoyed and back out leaving me scavenging for other surgeons. Which most once they hear hemophilia refuse to do the surgery because apparently this is a common… read more
I use to have the same situation. Now I have them contact my hemotologist to set up a treatment plan together. Since I started this method. I haven't been rescheduled, denied, postponed, etc
I’ve been having pins and needles and itching on my face and head from taking norco and methadone to manage my pain. Doesn’t anyone have a way to cope with it or any other information. I’ve tried other pain killers and can’t tolerate them as well as I do the opiates. I also smoke pot at night to deal with neuropathy and anxiety etc.
Certainly sounds very similar to my own, however, I have hemophilia factor VIII deficiency, severe...long winded way of saying that I have had problem which have resulted in my left knee being fused… read more
Thank you for sharing...I decided that day that this team would not be cutting on me...we have moved the surgery to a much bigger metropolis....they are only doctors..and I agree they feel above us… read more

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.
If you care to share, that would be amazing.
I don't have hep-c but know of some people that does or did. They now have treatment for it.
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 always tired and have petechiae in random places, not to many, they are on my chest and legs. Should I worry?
I can't seem to get enough sleep anymore. Somedays my joints hurt so bad I can hardly move and I am experiencing a terrible burning sensation around different joints when I move them. The most recent one is next to certain areas along my spine. My VWD is mild but this all worries me since it is happening more frequently.
Sounds like a joint bleed to me I have a target joint and that’s how it feels when it begins. Or to me it does.
Not that I’m aware of
Do you ever push yourself through a bleeding episode without infusing I do and it's actually not that bad once the bleeding has calmed down and gone away I hate needles is there any advise for this
I would strongly discourage trying to push through a bleed and not infuse. Especially if it is in any major joint. You will definitely pay for it when you get older and you develop severe arthritis… read more
