I am Sankar@ Sanakaranarayanan from Tindivanam, South India hails for lower socio economic group. In my child hood I was taken to various Hospitals for various treatments for my various bleeds and nobody diagnosed me as Hemophilia. I suffered many bleeds like oral bleeds, joint bleeds and muscle bleeds,and I, and at the age of 7 only I am diagnosed as Hemophilia A. I have 1 elder sister and 4 younger sisters and my 3 nephews are affected by Hemophilia A . Before 25 years there was no factor and all the way Plasma was transfused and it was given for all treatment and surgeries also. Later I found that there was a registered society in Madras for Hemophilia. So I and my 3 nephews registered in Madras society and we went for treatment in Madras Society.
Some years later I heard that Dr. P. Nalini, Professor of Pediatrics, JIPMER, Pondicherry (Retd) had started Hemophilia society Pondicherry chapter and I submitted all the documents of myself to Dr. P. Nalini and I became a Life Member of the Pondicherry Hemophilia society. I underwent 2 major surgeries and with the help of Factor from Hemophilia Federation India, New Delhi and also support given by Dr.P. Nalini, which are all Free of Cost. In the year 2018, I had severe fever and I came to JIPMER and there I was diagnosed as Malaria and due to Malaria I had blood clot in my brain and the clot was diagonised by Neuro Surgeon of JIPMER and open surgery was done in JIPMER, which was also Free of Cost , and full Factor support(Afstylia) was given by Hemophilia society Pondicherry chapter obtained from World Federation of Hemophilia, through Hemophilia Federation (India). After my surgery I was supported by Factor for 6 months as prophylaxis and I am fully recovered. In spite of various bleeds and I am fully recovered from IC Bleed ,and I am now normal. My family members express their gratitude to WFH , HFI (India) an Hemophilia society Pondicherry chapter
Thanks to all
