If you often feel tired, it could be anemia. o

If you ’re Jewish, it could be Gaucher Disease.

You may never have heard of Gaucher Disease (pronounced “Go-Shay”). But it is the most common genetic disease affecting Jews of Eastern and Central European descent. In fact, approximately one out of every 14 carries the Gaucher gene - it is far more prevalent than Tay-Sachs. And it is not gender or age specific.

Gaucher warning signs include: • Fatigue • Bleeding problems and easy bruising • Enlarged abdomen • Bone pain • Easily fractured bones • Enlarged liver or spleen • Low platelet count • Anemia

Gaucher can affect anyone but can be detected earl) with a simple blood test. Fortunately, effective treatment lets people with Gaucher live full, productive lives. The consequences of the disease can be debilitating, so don’t wait and wonder, get the facts now.
