Title: Why don't the docs ask all the right questions?
Bleeding Disorder: Hemo A
Date of Diagnosis: 36 yrs after the diagnosis of my twins
You gynecologists always asked for the first day of my last period-why didn't you ask for the last day? Why didn't
you ever tell me what "Normal" was when you asked me if everything was normal-10 to 15 days of bleeding was
normal for me… Be thorough when you are establishing a baseline with a patient...

Bleeding Disorder: Factor 8
One day, God came to me and said, "Shelley, I want to perform a miracle and cure you of your hemophilia and
HIV." I said, "Thanks, but no thanks!" Although my hemophilia does not define me, it created who I am…a strong,
empowered and spiritual woman who believes in miracles... I love that about me!

Bleeding Disorder: VWD
In a weird way, I actually enjoy having a bleeding disorder. It's not always a good thing to hear I have it, but I get
to do things other people do not.
I have the advantage of going to camp and making new friends. I just absolutely don't know what I would do if I
didn't have a bleeding disorder.

She would say fight for what you think is right and don't ever be afraid to say what you feel. Also she would say
that you should reach out and help the ones who are not educated about bleeding disorders.

Bleeding Disorder: VWD
I like my bleeding disorder. Maybe I have to take a few more minutes than others to take meds and infuse, but I
don't see it as a disability. I see I it as an ability to let me do more. I get to go to camp, meet new friends, and go
to events.
