Over the last few years my wife has really struggled health wise. She has been diagnosed with under active thyroid, pernicious anemia and during that also Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Over the last week she has also been diagnosed with Hemochromatosis.

I am still unsure of the CFS diagnosis, even more so now with this latest diagnosis. The main two symptoms of both PA and Hemochromatosis being extreme fatigue and that is my wifes biggest struggle.

Once you start receiving treatment for Hemochromatosis, have you all noticed an improvement in your energy levels, your symptoms tailing off? I am hoping this has been underlying for sometime and the fact its hereditary I suspect it has. I am hoping for my wifes sake that the treatment for this plus continued injections for PA wil start to relieve her symptoms. I am also hoping feedback from people like yourselves who have probably went through the same struggles but have came out with positives stories on the back of treatment will give her a bit of hope to look forward to.
