Hello everyone,

I was diagnosed with haemochromatosis a genetic disorder that causes overly high iron levels in the blood and organs. This illness has caused me to become very fatigued. Because of how tired I constantly feel, I find it hard to manage my health and life in general. I have a lot of issues with my executive function and my health issues exasperate them by ten fold.

Has anyone else experienced something like this and if so how did you deal with it?

Your input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

CFL
