Hi All,i am a first time user so please bear with me.I am trying to find out if my ailments are related to the topic above. I have very achy joints in my fingers and toes,i am very weary/tired after a moderate amount of exercise even though i am 55 i DON'T consider this to be factor. I have very interrupted sleep and my skin is going scaly on my scalp.My mother has haemochromotosis and i am a carrier but not infected,if you get my meaning,i give blood every 12 weeks as well,so if anyone out there knows something i would be pleased to read the replies and maybe get some answers.

Hi towns1
The symptoms you are describing could have a multitude of causes.
If you carry the haemochromotosis gene its good to get checked regularly to make sure you're not starting to store iron. A good first step would be to get an iron studies blood test done; and while you're there, mention to the doctor that you've been experiencing all these other symptoms too.
Hope this helps - let us know how you go!

Hello, I also have hamochromotosis & from time to time get aching joints really bad.
Have a look @ your medication, high cholerol tables where giving me joint pain.
Check any other meds as well.
