A member asked:
56 year old male, do drink every night, have high ferritin. recently find that muscles burn whilst working in workshop, legs cramp,twitching in sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemochromatosis?: High ferritin may be a sign of hemochromatosis, a disease of excess iron storage in liver and other organs. If diagnosed and treated early, its serious complications (cirrhosis and heart and gonadal failure) can be prevented or reduced. I recommend you see a hematologist.
