I have VWD Type 2A and recently spent 5 days hospitalized with a GI Bleed. It took 8 doses of Humate P to get control of the bleeding. I carry 2 doses with me when travelling, but am thinking that isn’t enough. We spend time in 3rd world countries…ie Africa, Honduras, Equador where the drug does not exist. My internist suggests carrying 6 doses…enough to stabilize and support me enough for transport home in case of emergency. For those of you who travel extensively, how many doses do you carry? My insurance covers the cost, so thankfully, that hasn’t been an issue.
