Blood types?
Blood types?
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

For Mild Hemophilia- females- How do you know when to treat, what symptoms do you experience that you relate to a bleed?

I want to have some background info to bring to my local hematologist and my HTC. Since my diagnosis I have heard some people say treat for pain even without swelling or heat, others say that there has to be visible signs of a… read more

Has anyone with Von Willebrands been on a medication that lowers platelet count?
I am looking at starting a Rx called Nuedexta. It's the one and only med approved for the condition I'd be treating, but it can lower platelet count. My VW's is mild... this condition I'm looking to treat is not... how do I go about knowing if it is safe for me? I've had some incompetent Drs in the past and will not trust any Dr blindly if I can research too.

When surgery is needed , how do you get oncologists/hematologists to work with surgeons to arrange surgery, infusions, and observation?
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… read more

I am wondering about fatigue with mild VWs.
I am wondering about fatigue with mild VWs.
My VW is mild, so I have not always given it the credit it deserves in causing complications in my life. But I was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia (non REM narcolepsy) several years ago. I found out a year and a half ago I was misdiagnosed and had iatrogenic hypersomnia caused by an antidepressant. I thought I was completely cured when I stopped taking that medication, and my improvement really is a miracle. But I have always been a little more fatigued than the… read more

My Nose Bleed lasted hours, what works best? VWD
I regularly get them on my left side and have had it cauterized three times. I use a Tampon to help for a clot and stop it but this was a five tampon event in my nose over just two hrs. I also just let it run in the sink for awhile out of frustration! Should I use the DDAVP NOSE spray in this case??
How do I discourage my 17 yro. Severe Hemo. A son, not to buy a motorcycle?
How do I discourage my 17 yro. Severe Hemo. A son, not to buy a motorcycle?
.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. To me, this just sounds like the craziest idea in the world.--No exceptions!---A no brainer. But trying to convince my son is a totally different argument.
This would not happen right away, but probably within the next 6 to 8 mos.

Are there any severe hemophilia A women out there?
Are there any severe hemophilia A women out there?
My six-year-old daughter has severe hemophilia A, which we all know is extremely rare. So I’m looking to connect with women who are in the same position. As my daughter gets older, she’s starting to ask more questions about her condition and I would love to be a bit more prepared to answer her questions, and share experience from those with first hand experience managing hemophilia as a woman.
