Do symptoms go away after treatment?
Posted , 7 users are following.
I have been diagnosed with hereditary hemochromatosis and am starting treatment soon. I've had several of the common symptoms like fatigue, skin issues, joint pain etc. I was wondering if the symptoms start to go away after treatments start. I'm going to be getting weekly phlebotomies.

people disagree on here, and that's fine. personally, the first month was worse. but after that, you will notice it by the day. as others have said, load up on water.

The fatigue goes away for me when my iron levels are low. I stop getting the dreadful indigestion and abdominal pain, hot flushes, brain fog, mood swings, chest pain & heavy legs/feet. Any hair loss doesn't seem to reverse. My one knuckle is affected and hasn't improved but no further distortion since venessections. It seems to take around four days after venessections for me to feel "lighter" - no matter what I try (drinking/eating etc) I always feel ill directly afterwards.
