The Celtic Curse - TFK Haemochromotosis Sufferers and Carriers Thread

So you are still 13 times the recommended level?

I am. But I was 50 times the recommended level last year. And that was just what was in my blood. There was a whole heap of the stuff hanging out in my vital organs and joints as well that wasnā€™t included in that figure.

1822 :frowning:

2327, Iā€™m coming for you @Fagan ODowd

Have you been told that the darkness of the beer makes a difference? Genuine question. Wishing you well here always btw.

Thereā€™s always a few lumps on a downhill path Fagan and Fran. . It must be relentlessly frustrating. I cannot begin to imagine how hard it is.

Little disappointed. This looks like a great thread.

Sorry to hear that Rocko, but feel free to lurk away.

Whatā€™s wrong. Thatā€™s a good result. Down from 1822. The 1300 reading was an outlier in hindsight. You get anomalies like that every so often.

Whatā€™s the magic number here?

100

:eek:

I should go back to the start of the thread ā€¦ but will it always be so volatile? Can you get it down and keep it down??

No. Once it gets down under 100 it will only need three or four venesections a year to keep it down.

Hard luck @Rocko, you can blame your folks for that
