Looking for advice..hemochromatosis

I was diagnosed several years ago. I had intermittent fatigue, joint pain, hemorrhoids, I seem to be getting sores from biting my cheek, although some were not from a bite injury because they weren't on my inner cheek.. I constantly had digestive noises. One day I started having difficulty with my eyesight while reading. I'm probably missing other issues

I tested high ferritin, very high saturation, slightly anemic. I went out of town to get genetic testing because I was told I had to wait, with no timeframe, to get an appointment in town.

I did a year, 1 unit of blood every 2 weeks. Now yearly I do 1 to 3 donations. My saturation can still be very high. My ferritin target is 50. I still have intermittent joint pain. I bite my cheek stil occasionally which results in a blister. Intermittent fatigue, I woke up freezing a few times even though it's not cold

And more that I am forgetting, ....... Oh.. brain fog .....

Good to read your much better. I especially noted the eyesight issue. Lately I have some problem but then I’m old and maybe cataracts.
