Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month: Factor 7 Deficiency - Advocacy in Action

In honor of Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month, Flow is talking about advocacy in action for Factor 7 Deficiency. Our guest Stacy shares challenges with extreme menstrual pain and dismissed symptoms, emphasizing the importance of persistence while navigating a broken healthcare system where rare conditions are poorly understood. Despite facing systemic hurdles, keeping up with current research and working with several bleeding disorder foundations helps Stacy move the proverbial needle in accessing treatment.
