We all know the routine whereby we have an initial ultrasound,etc to see if we have any liver damage due to iron. Mine was thankfully okay. I was thinking that I’m not aware of anyone who has initially been okay having liver problems later on. As most of us have annual ultrasounds I assume that there is still some concern, Has anyone developed anything later that they would like to mention? I would have thought that our ongoing risk would have been the same as the general population but the fact that they look at us closer suggests otherwise.

    That's great news. I'm due to have a scan in two week, I fear this so much as I don't feel all that great. Very bloated , can't eat to much and I do fear it's off my liver,. Just found out my iron count was over 1000 so looks like I have Haemochromatosis. Been unwell for a long while and finally getting answers and help,

      It’s very worrying at diagnosis as most doctors don’t tell us anything. In fact,my GP admitted to me that I know more about it than him. There’s no excuse for the gastro not putting our minds at rest,though.

      Yes I know, you just need to write down all you need to know about and don't leave till you have all the info you need,if you don't find it ask where you can. It's hard enough trying to get our heads around it all as it is never mind all the worry not to know it all.
