Thank-you, this is very interesting. When I was 6, my tonsils (throat) had to be removed. I nearly died from after-bleeding, with a 2.3 HB. I was diagnosed with Von Willebrand. 2 years ago, all people in Holland (where I live) with Von Willebrand had to have a check up. It turned out I didn't have von Willebrand anymore. I find it a mystery. But just yesterday I was allowed to have a wisdom tooth pulled regularly: at the dentist. It went ok, without very heavy bleeding. I'm now 22.
