Scott's health
After almost a year of stomach pain, joint paint, extreme lack of energy and other symptoms, Scott ended up having a liver biopsy which showed he has hemochromatosis. He's also been experiencing other common symptoms of this such as memory problems and irregular heartbeat.
Here is a quote from a website about it:
http://www.hemochromatosis.org
Hemochromatosis is an iron disorder where the body simply loads too much iron. This action is genetic and the excess iron, if left untreated, can damage joints, organs, and can eventually be fatal.
There are several types of hemochromatosis; type 1, also called Classic Hemochromatosis (HHC) is a leading cause of iron overload disease. People with HHC (too much iron) absorb extra amounts of iron from the daily diet. The human body cannot rid itself of extra iron. Over time, these excesses build up in major organs such as the heart, liver, pancreas, joints and pituitary. If the extra iron is not removed, these organs can become diseased. Untreated hemochromatosis can be fatal.
