Managing my haemochromatosis - part 2

If you are lucky enough to be able to have treatment for haemochromatosis by donating your blood, it is a real win / win situation.
Ashleigh tells us about her experience.
Are you a blood donor?

I've had haemo since 1996 watch out for pain in your hands and especially your knees ...arthritis is unfortunately one of many side issues .

@@shawn1869 Hi ya please keep your eye on your iron levels, here in the UK they like to keep them below 50mg/ltr though over the 1000 or so venesections I've had (yes that many ) they've varied the recommended level as high as 100mg /ltr . I usually have a venesection every 3 months . Good luck mate.
