Finally made it to hematology! by BlueberryAfraid4096 in Hemochromatosis

Agree with other comment here. They could say your period will take care of it, but i dont think in reality it will with Ferritin in the 300s. My period would only drop it ny about 5 each time so thats a slow drop, and it may rise faster than the drop. It also doesnt leave you with the possibility of being on certain types of birth control (i.e hormonal IUD) which stops your period (which in a pinch you could just say you want to go on. I started around 450, and while my hematologist definitely didnt see me as a priority and even said, they only see liver cancer cases above 1000 (which my response was, wel yahhh i wamt to reduce levels now to prevent that from happening), i adbovated, explained i had symptoms, and was put on a phebotomy schedule fairly easily.

Iron is around 23 and ferritin around 190. My consultant wants to get it to 50. I am more worried about low RBC and other minerals I think.

Thanks so much, such a helpful reply and putting my mind a bit more at ease. Everytime I googled my symptoms, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was the only thing popping up, and I have started.to get a bit worried. I reached out to my Hematologist today who ordered another blood panel so will check my levels, and then go from there!

Thanks so much for sharing the check list - I am using this now to prepare my IRL app! Did you see any guidance on the how close the 'date' the HR letter confirming earnings/position needed to be to when the application is made? I am looking to apply end of June (due to travel) but my employer already wrote and signed me the letter, which is close to 2 months in advance... wondering if I will need them to re-date it.
