Von Willebrands Disease

Both myself and my daughter Maisie have inherited the genetic disorder known as Von Willebrands disease. I am aware that others in the Bedford/Habens line of the tree are also affected by the disorder which manifests itself in excessive bruising and bleeding. I have added a few links below, one to a useful background page on the BBC web site and the others to downloadable leaflets provided by the Haemophilia society.
