Re: Iron again!!
The reason I posted (too many times!! sorry) is that hemochromatosis is one of the most common genetic conditions around. In the UK about 1 in 180 people carry the defective gene. It's very often not diagnosed as the symptoms are usually just excessive tiredness aching joints (the usual getting old problems), which is a great pity as caught early enough, a normal lifespan can be expected.
I posted this a few years ago ( when the ratio was 1 in 400) but I wasn't taken seriously. Never mind, I just wanted to put people, who might be suffering unnecessarily, in the picture. Thanks for your patience
