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?

I have been on Amicar most of my life and dealt with the side effects, but they seem to be affecting me more lately. I've had nausea and vomiting, and i get really dizzy and ligt headed to the point of fainting. The worst though is along with that, I get super overheated. Does anyone else have these side effects? It's gotten so bad I have even considered trying to switch to Lysteda in hopes it won't have the same effects. Anyone have experiences with switching?
NO ILL EFFECTS!!!
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.

My aunt was diagnosed in the 1950’s with moderate Factor VIII deficiency. She is 70 years old now. With the treatments that are currently available your daughter should do very well. You should get… read more
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?
Are there any older guys with haemophilia that are experiencing chronic pain in both elbows. Right hand small finger has pins and needles feeling?
Tremeau Phamaceutical is currently enrolling patients for study of a new Cox2 inhibitor for pain. Google them to see if there is a study site near you.
I have von Willebrands disease. I really don’t know much about it. I was told its a relatively minor case but that’sall i know. I don’t know what to expect with this disease and have a lot of body pain and headaches. I’m not sure if any of this is from vwd or if it’smy other conditions.
I have VWD and have always been told it’s a Factor VIII deficiency.

My son is 6mo old with f8 severe. I am 30 with f8 moderate, low vw but so far he has no inhibitor but i have no inhibitor perse but no tolerance to stimate as it was no longer effective.
