[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 345017, member: 1436"] I have Von Willebrands. It was discovered after I bleed to death (literally brought back to life) after my hysterectomy. It is not always active, like Marge said, but if my body is stressed, it flairs. I always know when I started bruising badly. For instance, I can scratch an itch and bleed internally. Jana has it too, as does several members of my dad's family. What I didn't connect was the joint issue. My joints are all in bad shape. For instance, I have had 8 surgeries (2 on each knee, surgery on my right index finger, surgery on my right wrist) for joint issues. Right now I've got an inflamed tendon in my left ring finger. So far it is not triggering, but it is painful. There are very few days when I don't have significant joint pain. I take an anti-inflammatory every day. It helps take the edge off most days. [/QUOTE]
