Not a disability: Of all the common diseases that will kill a person horribly if they are missed or neglected, hemochromatosis is the easiest to manage. Dropping off a unit or two of blood each week -- whether it's available for transfusion or not -- until you're at a good iron level, then being followed and having blood drawn as required, will keep you healthy. I hope this isn't a disappointment. Best wishes.
