Anyone have this? My mum has just been diagnosed.
We've both been having some blood tests done as we were investing whether or not we have a b12 deficiency (my sister has) and as a result she has been diagnosed with GH.
Now its pretty much a cert that I have it too since my doc is already querying why I have raised serum ferritin levels (I'm 33), they weren't too bad but raised enough for her to be concerned. I've to have my bloods done again in a fortnight. I was also showing raised ESR's and was concerned about rheumatoid arthritis as I get pains in my fingers. (Now know this is another symptom of GH).
My mum has to advise her brothers and sisters to go for a blood test. With hindsight, its obviously been running through our family for years. My grandmother died of liver cancer and my grandfather, her husband was having blood removed just before he died because he had "too much iron". So it looks like both of them may have had GH.
Additionally my great grandfather died from liver cancer too.
Just after anyone's experiences. I'm hoping that mine may have been "caught" just in time before it does any longterm damage. Not so sure if its too late for my mum though.
