His levels of factor VIII are 28% of normal.He is usually OK going about the activities of normal daily living.He plays slow pitch softball and enjoys swimming and horseback riding, and is an exceptionally active individual who believes "why walk when you can run?" He has noticed that once he has one injury, he will have "bleeds" more readily, and has to restrict his own activities to give himself time to heal.Why would he have to "slow down" longer than a person without hemophilia?
