[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 901570, member: 43498"] Thanks Peter, I will certainly keep an eye on things but my Ferritin has never been over 150 in the 20 years since I was first tested for the genes. One of those genes, I think it is the H63D, rarely causes iron overload even in people who have two of them, like my Dad. I think being female makes a difference, and I am in my 40s too. I get Iron Studies done every year along with other routine blood tests and fortunately iron overload is really slow to develop, so we will catch it if it starts to happen. I consider it a lucky break, compared to those who have overload. [/QUOTE]
