The symptoms were lifelong. The explanation is new. Childhood nosebleeds that needed cauterization. Bleeding gums. Heavy flow on a 21 day cycle. Excessive bleeding after each birth. Iron stores that never seemed to catch up. I treated these as separate problems for years. Now my bloodwork points to type 1 von Willebrand disease—a bleeding disorder that connects so much of that history. I’ll cry about it today. And I’ll get back to research & management tomorrow. I’m sharing because someone else might recognize their own story here. You don’t have to wait until the bleeding feels “bad enough” to ask questions. Swipe for my results, the symptoms, and what to ask about. Save this for your next appointment, or send it to someone who keeps struggling with heavy bleeding and low ferritin. I’m Paula Vox—you may also know me as Paula Torres. Vox draws on my full name, Paula Ādamsone Von der Osten Sacken de Torres, and on Okmanis, a family name that’s also part of my history. Mother of three, Latvian in Miami, sharing what I’m learning about health, motherhood, marriage, and speaking up. #VonWillebrandDisease #BleedingDisorders #IronDeficiency #paulavox #thisisthething taken in Miami, Florida by @paula_vox
