Nimra Pervez here, sharing my story 💪.

Growing up with von Willebrand disease wasn’t easy, but it was all I knew. My two sisters had it too . One of them is no longer with us, and that loss still hurts 😔. But I’m here, and I’m sharing this to honor her memory.

Diagnosed from childhood, I’ve learned to adapt. As the youngest, I watched my sister navigate vWD, and it prepared me for some of the challenges. But it’s not all struggles I’ve found strength in my experiences. My family’s been my rock, always there to support me through the tough times.

My parents were always on top of things, making sure I had my meds and didn’t take unnecessary risks. My sister too we were in this together, even when it got tough. We’d share tips, and just be there for each other.
Managing vWD has taught me to be prepared to advocate for myself. And with my family’s support, I’ve been able to live life on my terms.i have done my education. FSC and BS in botny ALHAMDULILLAH.

To anyone dealing with vWD, I want to say: family support makes all the difference. Don’t be afraid to lean on yours, and don’t be too proud to ask for help. And if you don’t have family support, know that there are others out there who care .Friends who become family.

I’ve traveled, worked in the lab, and learned to thrive. This disease is part of my story, but it doesn’t define me. I’m Nimra, and I’m more than my vWD 😊.
