I Have Haemochromatosis

Haemochromatosis is a genetic condition which causes the body to accumulate excess iron. Iron is vital to the efficient functioning of the body but excess iron can damage vital organs. Early symptoms of iron overload such as fatigue (in 70%), joint pain (40%) and abdominal pain (40%) are non-specific and are commonly not recognised as associated with Haemochromatosis. Detection is through monitoring of iron levels in the blood. Treatment is regular blood donations.

2013\05\28 - Poor day - Not a very good day today. By about 13:30 I was not able to concentrate properly anymore. I even asked Steve (my boss) to take some work off of me.

I skipped Adventure Racing club evening for the first time I can remember - I just did not feel up to going all the way there.

Today I posted my face book status as "I seem to miss something the most, when I don't think I will be able to have it again.". The idea of possibly not getting back to being able to do Adventure Racing is rather depressing.
