@acweyand I am just gonna say that sounds like the fastest massive period to VWD diagnosis in history. Way to go to those docs who checked both the PT and APTT! AND followed up! Thank you!
@acweyand I recently had an OSCE where the female SP had fatigue so I added a ferritin to my lab order and the professor grading it docked a point and commented “why get a ferritin if you don’t yet know if/what type of anemia?”
I wrote a long response. 💁🏻♀️
Today we’re lobbying Parliament - demanding immediate compensation for those infected and affected by contaminated blood. 11 months on from the Public Inquiry’s recommendations and we’re still waiting. #DyingForJustice
@kristatippett@adalimon Thanks so much for continuing the work! My step daughter introduced OnBeing to me a few years ago. On those hard days, it’s always nice to be able to connect with others who seek love. Thank you thank you!
@kali_rob @SSNaushon@acweyand There are also menstrual cups now that hold a lot of menstrual blood. They are a bit of a project to get used to but so much better than tampons and pads, and they last for 8-12 hours! Let’s train our girls and girlfriends about these! Menstrual cups and period panties!
@mogasaurus_rex @acweyand Heavy menstrual bleeding is strongly associated with hereditary bleeding disorders. If you need to change protection more than every 1-2 hours, or if your protection fails regularly, talk to your friendly hematologist!!!
