Have ya been chewing on your cast iron skillets??????? or if ya use them to pound on the oldmans head ya may be obsorbing iron from the handles!!!!! or.....to much liver and onions!!!!!![/QUOT
No to all three especially liver and onions. The only liver I eat is in the form of braunswager.
Doc that's something that I am considering. I do snore at night but the high iron can also cause fatigue.
It certainly is. I have Kaiser for my medical and they have a blood donation center at the hospital. Tomorrow I have a liver ultra sound at 11:00 and a physical therapy appointment at 1:00. In between I can go give blood and have lunch. Then I let my doctor know and she'll schedule another iron test to see how the donation worked.
The last test is in and it turns out that I have a recessive genetic disorder. It's called hemochromatosis. About 10% carry the gene mostly Northern European. Apparentally both my parents had the gene. Funny that it is showing up so late in life. It results in high iron in my system which can damage other organs. The treatment of choice is to give blood since most of the iron in the body is in the blood. Vampires here I come.
Whats with this late in life stuf???? 70 is the new 20!!!!!! tell that old man to start eating raw beef and shake a leg!!!!!!! after all a young gal needs some action!!!!!
