Yes, you bet Hemochromatosis is very much genetic and 3 family members of mine have already passed on from this. I have high iron, as i said that is just one indicator to continue with more extensive testing. I am very aware of this issue.Theres alot of eveidence if you look up iron overload , have you ever checked your iron ? Just curious as to what yours would be.
Don't get to self diagnosing man, it never is a good avenue to go down. I am all about awareness etc, and if one has a shitty doc we have research to ask questions and more testing. BUT self diagnosing and self treating is not a good route. Just saying.
