Hi, I am a 65 year old woman in the UK, and in 2018, I was diagnosed with genetic haemochromatosis. I am C282y homo.
My levels were 2600 , with a saturation level of 95 -98%.
I was never given an literature to read. In fact your podcast has told me more than I have been told in 6 years.
I was having one venesection once a fortnight. It took me two and a half years to get it down to below one hundred.
I have been told that I have got liver fibrosis.
I am currently under a gastroenterologist. I see him every two years.
I suffer from a lot of joint and muscle pain, in various parts of my body, including my back.
I wonder doctor, could you do an episode on what are safe vitamins that I can take, and what vitamins I must avoid apart from iron and vitamin C, please.
Many thanks for your great information.

I’m 45 and I have hereditary hemochromatosis. It’s messed up my muscles. Before it “activated” I was working out 6 days a week. Then all the sudden my muscles ached when I lifted. I wasn’t gaining any muscle. And I still can’t gain any muscle. I can barely lift 20lbs and it hurts. My blood doctor just tells me to donate blood. I did that and then you have to wait so many days which is around 80 days give or take. So as soon as I could donate again I did. Eventually I went anemic and that’s so much worse. Doctors really haven’t been much help with this. They just say donate blood. There’s nothing much more a doctor can do than that or maybe it’s just my doctors.

Hello from France doctor! I hope you can enlighten me for my husband, his liver fibro scan is 14.3kpa f3-f4, his blood test says all normal except for 70% iron saturation while his ferretin is normal 147. Please let us know what you think about this.
Thank you so much !

I hit the jackpot in that I have polycythemia Vera and hereditary hemachromatosis. Iron levels moderate and hematocrit leveled at 45 with phlebotomy and hydroxides. Thank you for your videos. You really helped me understand what was happening

Damns and my ferritin leve is 414 at the moment , currently waiting on if I have that gene

@mappyman8271 2 months ago

I have been getting iron infusion. My ferritin is very low. Even though I was taking supplements I was anaemic. Caused by CLL or blood loss. Had many iron infusions.
