Joint Bleeds

A MyHaemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sturgeon Bay, WI

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.

Factor VIII deficiency is Hemophilia A, not vWD

You can research it on Google. It’s a factor 8 Deficiency, if you have internal bleeding or heavy periods you can take medications to add factor 8, or sometimes people react well to stimate. Swelling in hands and fingers is very common, problems with knee or ankle or elbow joints also common. Google it.
