Re: An update regarding my situation...

[Guest guest]

Thanks for writing Tom,

I called my doctor several weeks ago to hear the results on his final test;

transferrin. According to him, my transferrin was low, so I could not have

hemochromatosis. Later that night I learned by myself that transferrin actually

is lowered when people have high iron levels, so if anything, it negated his

conclusion.

Anyway, I proceed to to ask for an explanation of my elevated ferritin and told

him what I think is a plausible argument; that since hemochromatosis is a

illness that takes time to show up, it could very well be that I`m in an early

phase of the illness. His answer was that I should just wait and that there was

nothing wrong with me. I pressed for the test, but he would not give it to me,

and said that the specialist would laugh at him if he were to ask for such a

test.

I hung up on him and decided to never see him anymore and then ordered an

appointment with a doctor in the private sector.

I went to this doctor yesterday and finally I met some understanding and someone

who at least have a clue about the issue at hand. His personal opinion was that

he did not think that I have hemochromatosis, and that he wanted to take his own

tests first. I pressed to take the gene test and he let me take it after

checking that he had the right to do so.

Unfortunately, the doctor is leaving for vacation so I won`t get the results

before 4-5 weeks or so.

It feels good to finally have gotten the test. Either way, he recommended me to

become a blood donor to get my ferritin levels down. I signed up yesterday so I

hope I can donate very soon.

As a sidenote, I have had sex with two girls the last three weeks.

Both very beautiful girls that I really liked. What surprised me was that I did

not get a 100% erection even though I was relaxed and comfortable with the

situation. I also did not feel any drive.

This furthers my suspicion that something is not as it should be.

Tom,

Did you experience a change in life when you lowered your ferritin levels?

Please share your experiences. Will I get back my sexdrive and 100% erections

when lowering my blood levels, if the ferritin is what is causing it?

I`m not sure what else it could be. According to several doctors, my hormonal

levels are completely fine.

Thanks so much in advance,

Best regards,

ny

is pushing FSH and LH down.
