hi. I’m new to this forum so please bear with me. My late mum had this condition as does my sister. I was always regularly anaemic but had blood test results today that would suggest that I’ve got an iron overload. I’m worried that I might also be developing haemochromatosis and wondered if anyone would be kind enough to give an opinion. I’m 51 and female. I had iron infusions last year for anaemia but nothing for over 6 months. My Gp just said my results (given below) were acceptable, whatever that means. I’d be very grateful for your opinions. Thanks
