Big Bruise To Forehead
Hi, my 3 year old son has moderate hemophilia, level 3.
He had a nasty bruise on his forehead that has swelled up to a golf ball size, and has rebled a little.

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.

If Possible, Have Your Child Attend A Hemophilia Summer Camp To Meet Others With Our Condition, Learn Basic Facts And Build Community..
Nowadays in countries with advanced medical care, many hemophiliacs never learn enough about our condition--about self-care and prevention of injury. It is critical that youngsters learn to avoid joint problems that can linger a life-time and cause chronic pain, plus the reasons for and importance of treatment. Not every young man needs to play tackle football or climb mountains. Encourage reading and development of positive social skills, things we all need in life.

Hi, David. I have been at Cardeza Foundation at Thomas Jefferson for decades. Chris Ramsey
I'm Wondering Does Hemophilia Cause Us To Have More Intense Pain Than Normal People???? My Pain Has Become Almost Unbearable At Times.
Isn’t pain relative to the person that feels it. Since I’ve grown up bleeding I don’t try to compare to a “normal” who hasn’t had regular bleeds. I only compare my pain to myself. So if you are… read more
