So, I do seem to have got the hang of not passing out or crying during venesection & it's a great excuse to eat mars bars & drink coke!!
Apart from that, it's still not nice and I'm still monthly so obviously ferritin levels aren't going down that quickly and this month I'm feeling no where near as well as I have after the other venesections. Waking up with headaches and sore eyes I thought was a thing of the past but, hey ho, we'll see!!
On Facebook I've found this, very interesting but not very used. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know if it gets any busier.
Oh & after a visit to the GP re my earth-shattering snoring I've also discovered that sleep apnoea is a symptom of both haemochromatosis & an underactive thyroid!! I have to have a sleep study and could end up with having my driving license pulled if the results are concerning enough. This is just never ending!! I'm going to stop going to the GP, I seem to catch a lot when I go!!
So, bleed well and I'll chat next month.
Lyn
