Hemocromatosis

I was wondering if anyone out there has been diagnoised with hemocromatosis or iron overload in the body. I was just diagnoised with this disease not long ago and they say it affects 1 in 10 people but little is known about it they are sstill doing alot of research but state that it causes arthritis,fibro muscle weakness & pain, liver cancer, bone cancer and there are a few other things. it is funny because they said that this disease is more common in men! but the people in my family that have it have all been women! my mother, my neice, my daughter, me and my other daughter has not been tested yet ! . I would like to hear from anyone that has this disorder or knows anything about it because I am still researching and trying to find some researcher to find out if there has been a study between this and fibro!.

Thanks Edie
