I thought it would be nice to connect with some others who also suffer from bleeding disorders, hemophilia or otherwise.

What do you have and do any of your family members have your disorder as well? How does it affect you? Has it affected your ability to exercise or loose weight? What is your favourite form of exercise? Any other female hemophiliacs out there?

I personally have hemophilia type A mild and Von Willebrands Disease type 1 mild (I'm female). My Dad is also a mild hemophiliac with type A, no VWD though. Sister is a carrier of hemophilia with VWD type 1. I inherited hemophilia through X-inactivation from my Dad - my mum is completely 'normal'.
I LOVE to run but my body doesn't handle it very well haha....I'm injured often. Right now I'm giving indoor cycling a go :)
