I have been poorly for 5 years now without any real diagnosis, except high bp. Extreme lack of energy, joint pain and worst of all headaches, brain fog and neck/shoulder pain.10 months ago I was diagnosed with haemochromotosis (ferritin 900) and began weekly blood letting to lower it. Since 5 months the blood values have been good, only needed 1 further bleed which was last month. Now my ferritin is 19 and HG is at 14.5 all other values are steady. Energy is back but not 100% yet.Only my headaches, brain fog and joint pain has remained, also now with nerve pain. I would appreciate any advice. I try not to take pain meds and supplements because of the HH.
Hello, Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, iron can deposit into joints and irritate them. This is hard to reverse. It is NOT generally associated with HTN.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
