Hi

Spoke to the doctor the other day which they informed me my iron blood levels were high. Which she said it was hemochromatosis and that shewas passing me on to a blood specalist. Which has left me a bit worried and what I should be doing in the mean time. I have noticed a few of thesymptoms that people have put like tiredness and sore feet...all my other bloods came back normal. Can anyone advise what I should do in the mean time.

Thank you

    In the mean time, not panic. Wait until it is confirmed. My gastro and GP thought I had it, until later tests confirmed that everything had begun to settle down - too much alcohol (and I mean a lot) was my problem.

    If the haematologist confirms it, he/she will advise the best route to take. In the mean time, you can look up dietary foods to take/avoid (Google).
