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?

Vonwilabrands runs in my family. From sever to moderate. So bleeding is something we are used to but past several years my grandmother has been throwing clots as well. It looks like something that may occur in older age. Her hematologist just said that she is unique which I don't think is really an answer. Her clotting factor fluctuates as well from 27% to normal.
