Anyone else dealing with this? I have for 25 years, but it (phlebotomies) seem to impact me more, probably because I am older...

It runs in my family and I need to get tested again this year, but so far it has not manifested itself. As I understand it, it will more often start effecting a person after middle age.
I do have Schamberg's disease which is also an iron related issue, but in this case the iron leaks out of my veins into my skin and makes my legs look rusty.0 -
There is a genetic test that you can take that will say if you have it or not and/ or carry the gene. Neither of my kids have it but both carry the gene.0
