my dad was diagnosed with macular degeneration
Sharmin:
Manal,
Thank you for your prayers. To be honest I haven't slept in 3 days, I can't get it out of my mind. I feel like I need sleeping pills to stop thinking about it. My dad appreciates the beauty of seeing things so much, how can he live without seeing the faces of his grandchildren? I am franticly trying to find ways to prevent this disease from taking his eyesight. Thank you again friends for your prayers,
Sharmin

Hello,
On the Iron Disorder List we to talk about it now. It was said that there is possible a link between hh(hemachromatose) and age related md (amd). Is that the type your father has?
At the moment I'm only a silent reader since I'm in very bad health and very weak. I'll ask my questions during the weekend. I hope my tx at wed will give me the boost I need to fight those side effects. Let me know of you have any questions and I will ask them there.
Due tx's we got secundiairy hh, but in some diseases (carriers) you see that people also have primairy hh. For example my father is a carrier; a little low hgb and iron overload +1000 when it was detected. No hh gene was found though.
Just an idea. Iron panel tests are cheap to do - so that can't be the reason to do it not.
Take care *hugs*

p.s. How was the kiddo's first day at school? Or do I confuse you with someone else?
