The years have passed quickly and I have been having regular 3 monthly venesections ever since they initially removed all of my blood in 2011.

No recurrence of the symptoms.

Also I became mainly vegetarian last year & my blood profiles are excellent now.

I cant recommend venesection enough. My older brother has been diagnosed with iron overload syndrome now too.

Also one of my friends got it as a consequence of heavy blood transfusions some years ago -unfortunately for him he may have organ damage

Its just one of those things that crop up with middle age - get it treated
