FROM A CLINICAL POINT OF VIEW:

The first clinical
manifestations (weakness, sexual dysfunction, arthralgia, cardiac
symptoms, dyspnoea on effort) can occur after the age of 30 years in
men and 35 years in women (protected for longer by menstruation,
pregnancy and delivery).

In the absence of diagnosis, severe
complications can develop during the 5th decade: nervous breakdown,
arthropathy, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, cirrhosis with risk of
progression towards carcinoma, responsible for handicaps and premature
death.

DIAGNOSTIC ELEMENTS: The diagnosis is evoked in the case of an
increase in transferrine saturation (>45%)

You're a genious! Thanks for sharing mate. I do the vege lifestyle thing
too but was put on controlled release iron supplements a couple of years
ago due to acquired anaemia. There was no problem with anaemia until
Dilantin came on the scene! In the last couple of weeks I've gotten
progressively more tired and weak so saw doc today and she ran a full
blood - which includes the overload possibility. She says my liver may be
a bit 'tired' right now trying to break down the meds and iron tabs.

Here's hoping that's what the prob is and I'll toss the iron tabs out!

Cheers
