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.
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.
My current situation is that I am 28 years old and am about to start medical school in a state outside my own (I am a Minnesota resident and will be going to Virginia for school). Since I am over 26, I can not enroll under my parents and I also will not be working and the school does not provide insurance. This leaves me with finding private healthcare coverage.

I have factor IX hemophilia. I graduate college on May 12th, 2017 and have a job which will put me on tour with a nationally touring band. What are some tips if you have any that could help? How to get more factor when I'm on the road, contacts I should have, how to get more equipment (needles, syringes, etc) if I need more, etc.
I only take factor on demand, so I don't run out quickly. Don't really see this being an issue, but any information and tips will be helpful.
I am also Factor IX deficient and do alot of traveling, including work related prior to recently retiring.
I always carried 2 doses with me and kept close contact with my base hemophilia doctor… read more
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.
My son, like myself, has von Willebrand's type 2b. He is having his wisdom teeth removed and is going to take Amicar and Vonvendi. Weird thing is advate is also on the list. Anyone else with vW been given this? It is usually given to hemophiliacs

Recently encountered a 6 year old kid that has the following coagulation profile...Severe F8 deficiency, very mild F9 deficiency and a low titer F8 inhibitor...does anyone else have the same profile???
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.
Yes it took me 6 months from the day I applied for SSI & he qualified..having vonwillebrand.he has a life expectancy..
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.
If you have hep c don't come to sc Medicaid will denie you for treatment.
Why are they charging so much. Is it just because of the dental work or because your factor 8 deficient?
