Surgery For Hemophilia Carriers
A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone who is a known hemophilia carrier with 50% factor levels had surgery.
My sister is due to have a knee replacement. What was your experience and what did you have to do pre surgery and post op?
Please share your experiences. Thanks

Your sister should coordinate her care with surgeon and Hemophilia Treatment Center closest to her. It may be wise to consider factor replacement therapy or at very leat Stimate.

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.

I don't have hep-c but know of some people that does or did. They now have treatment for it.

How Do You Deal With People Overreacting To Bruises?
A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I bruise extremely easy with my May-Hegglin. Many times I have no clue what even caused the bruise. I like to wear skirts, dresses and shorts, but lately I dread wearing them because of my bruises and the reaction I get from others. I know I shouldn't care, but I don't want people to think I am abused either.

A MyHemophiliaTeam Member

Be honest with people about your condition and how it causes bruising, often without you knowing the cause.
