I bleep going through airport scanners but i think its probably more likely to be my Belly ring Lol, but i have noticed i have more electrical shocks when i touch things, like the treadmill at the gym when i run if i catch my hand against it i get a little shock, also when i Supermarket shop i get a shock from the metal trolley(Cart) and i have never really thought about it till now. Also my husband has been moaning for months about the hair i lose, and i pull so much out of my hairbrush its a wonder i have any left on my head. I only had my diagnosis confirmed last Friday 16th april 10. So this is all new to me as i had never heard of it before and i am so glad to have found this support group. X

Wowsie wowsie. This was a very interesting read for me. Being newly diagnosed, the hair thing has not been a huge thing the past few years, I've noticed it, but my husband prolly would never mention it. However, I knew nothing with regard to magnets, electricity, etc. I, too, am a zapper, and whether it is myself or someone else, it happens all the time. What about lightbulbs? If I burn out one, no biggie, but 3-4 in a couple days? Also, I now have static electricity in my hair. I am 44. I have NEVER had it before. I thought I was just getting weird crap in my head.

This is all interesting. My Vision has been getting increasingly worse over the last two years. Which coincides with when I really began to notice the fatigue and brain fog. But it is for things close up. Macular degeneration is losing your periferal vision. My mother was just diagnosed with it a year ago. My hair has been thinning at the top may be because I am a man in my mid 50's but increasingly though in the past two years.
The last two weeks have been horiffic for the fatigue and just general apathy. I get some small bursts for an hour or so but get burnt out . Today I took 30 mgs of long lasting amphetimnes in the morning and on the way to do a service call I had to pull over for a nap on the way.
Still no diagnosis, but will try some more things tomorrow.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm... My specialist's nurse called with my lab results last Wednesday, confirming Hemochromatosis, and I see him today at 1:30 to discuss all the details, my numbers, treatment plan, etc. I'm 54, post menopausal and I've got all the symptoms (except asthma) that most of you have posted.

Now after reading this post, it makes me wonder if that's why I gave up on good watches YEARS ago & have to buy Timex or cheaper watches (about 1 p/yr) because they quit working. When I have been to the casino, I have had to replace my "player reward" card, too, several times.
My hair is fine & thin. Over the past year or two, it has gotten thinner and the right side is worse than the left! It has also grown faster than anytime in my life. Hair should grow 3-3.5 inches p/yr (according to 2 hairdressers) but I thin it has grown about 5 inches in the past 9 months!

This will be interesting to see if/when my hair returns to normal and IF I'll be able to wear one watch for a few years!

I lose a lot of hair too - really annoys my husband, didn't think that it might be related to HH. I have also noticed the greasiness in the last 6 months.

my hair is starting to thin out :/ i was hoping that i wouldn't get that symptom, if it is one.
any one find anything that help? its just started and i don't want it to get too bad..

My hair seems to be shedding more than usual but I had a lot of recent stress that caused me to even lose weight so, it is hard to say what is causing this but i sure hope it is permanent. I eat super healthy so that isn't a factor.
