Haemochromatosis

[Wish]

After a few blood tests over the last couple of months and weeks, I see to have been diagnosed with
Haemochromatosis. I’ve never heard of it before. But seems to be something to do with high iron readings in my bloods.

I’m glad they have got to the bottom of my tiredness, aching bones, and feeling low. Apparently I have been referred to the hospital as I’ve got to have have some blood removed. I’ve been reassure it’s fairly common and not life threatening. I’ve never heard of it before and don’t know anyone with this condition.

Anyone here have the condition ? Any advise ?

Have a friend with this and she has to go and have blood removed every three months or so, she was diagnosed about 10 years ago but seems healthy otherwise and no other problems.

My daughter 16, went for a second blood test only yesterday.

Symptoms include, stomach pains, headaches, palpitations and infrequent periods.

This is what they're suspecting!
