Hi @koref Connect just the greatest forum, isn’t it? There are so many helpful members who share common health issues. We can all learn from each other! I’m happy to see that you’re finding the information helpful.
From my limited understanding of hemochromatosis it can impact the immune system. The excessive iron can lead to oxidative stress and inflammation, which can compromise immune function causing you to be more susceptible to illnesses and infections.
It’s excellent news that you’re going to be seen at Mayo. You’ll find that the doctors specialize in collaborative medicine. They work together seamlessly if you need specialists in more than one department. All medical practices should work that way!
Which Mayo Campus will you be visiting?
