Hemochromatosis Support Group
Hemochromatosis is a hereditary disease characterized by improper processing by the body of dietary iron which causes iron to accumulate in a number of body tissues, eventually causing organ dysfunction. It is the main iron overload disorder. Hemochromatosis is notorious for having symptoms that are often initially misattributed to other diseases.
Well thanks to a couple of you I have now learned what causes my memory lapses. Thank you!
Here's an excellent write-up: http://cobbsblog.com/blog/?p=611
So it seems that Hypothyroidism could be to blame. The writer also talks about Adult Growth Hormone defficiency and Adrenal problems and lo and behold I have some symptoms of each field. Today I smacked my forehead and said YES! I've been to the doctor (years ago) for some of these symptoms!
Anyway for the rest of the ADHD and possible hypothyroidic folks like me there it is. I can't find the thread but whoever answered it THANK YOU. I wanna say it was that nice girl from across the pond and someone else.
