Do You Know Your Limit
A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

A MyHemophiliaTeam Member

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

Big Bruise To Forehead
A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

.Hi, My 17 yro. Severe A son, is determined to buy a motorcycle. He has written and explained a 3 page report to me and his dad the reasons why he should be allowed to get a motorcycle.

This would not happen right away, but probably within the next 6 to 8 mos
I am searching for help from the "older" more experienced people,-- who may… read more

Blood Types?
A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭

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 do not know about his friend’s status on this, but we found out through 23&me and genetic genie. Does anyone else know their status as far as blood type and/or MTHFR mutation, specifically 677… read more

Interesting question but I don't believe there is any connection between RH factor and hereditary bleeding disorders. Like you, I am O-neg. but that only means we are universal blood donors (like… read more

Health Insurance
A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.
