My son 21 has no insurance and disability keeps denying him and so does Medicaid . we can't afford factor 8 for his bleeds . he has to drive an hour or more to another state just to get a factor 8 shot and that's an emergency room visit and Bill every time. Can we get help with getting factor 8 for him to have at home . please help me
Call the manufacturer they can help.
Why are they charging so much. Is it just because of the dental work or because your factor 8 deficient?

Nowadays in countries with advanced medical care, many hemophiliacs never learn enough about our condition--about self-care and prevention of injury. It is critical that youngsters learn to avoid joint problems that can linger a life-time and cause chronic pain, plus the reasons for and importance of treatment. Not every young man needs to play tackle football or climb mountains. Encourage reading and development of positive social skills, things we all need in life.
My son was diagnosed at age 6 with a qualitative platelet disorder. His platelets are missing the mechanism that causes them to stack. I recently decided his medical records and noticed that when they were doing his blood work for the diagnosis his fibrinogen level was too low also but they never told me that. Could this mean that he is also a factor 1 hemophiliac... or am I over reacting?
Are there any older guys with haemophilia that are experiencing chronic pain in both elbows. Right hand small finger has pins and needles feeling?
I have pins and needles in my small finger as well as the next. Xrays shows that I have a nerve caught in the elbow joint. Got used to it after an few years. Now I have Carpal tunnel syndrome as well.
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 make custom ones, if anyone is interested...let me know
