Iron Overload or Haemochromatosis Information

Haemochromatosis or Iron Overload can cause a mixture of symptoms and be easily overlooked without blood testing.  It is a camelion amongst symptoms.  
The symptoms of iron overload can be very similar to anaemia/iron deficiency and other conditions such as CFS, menopause, and depression. The symptoms include:

• extreme tiredness and brain fog
• weakness
• low libido, erectile dysfunction
• liver failure which may show in blood tests
• diabetes
• painful and uncomfortable joints
• abdominal discomfort

A blood test is a definitive means of assessing iron levels, as well as assessment of symptoms. If elevated iron is detected, repeat blood tests are required to monitor the levels. A liver MRI can also assess whether iron overload is present.
