I suffer from haemochromatosis - excess iron in the blood - which can/does cause all sorts of ailments, pains, sexual dysfunction, liver problems, depression, palpitations etc etc etc. Some suffer many ailments, some a few. It is more common than we are lead to believe & if treated early - one can lead a full/normal life.
Are there other haemochromatosis sufferers out there who visit 'ask' ?

If any of you do suffer & your hospital do not take it seriously contact The Haemochromatosis Society as you MUST get treatment

It cannot be caught from transfusions as it is an hereditary illness due to certain genes in the blood

Me too!!!!
Possibly because of myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome. The hospital don't want to know - they are only interested in anaemia.
