The usual treatment for iron overload is to give blood at local blood bank every other month until the iron saturation level get to below 50% and ferritin gets back to within normal limits. I have been a blood donor for 65 years, not knowing that I had iron overload. Would have been dead long ago if by chance I hadn't been a donor. Get a simple iron panel blood test

What were your iron levels when you got your blood work?
Maybe the highest. My daughter blood work just came back. 166 ug/dl
