Await answers: Tough to be patient as a medical evaluation unfolds, but your potential diagnosis will allow deliberate therapy and stabilization. There is nothing you should do for yourself until your condition is confirmed, and, at that point, work with your doctors. Good luck.

Agree with Dr, M: Even if you have hemochromatosis, it is not an emergency and delay of treatment for a week or two will not alter the course of the disease. Wish you good health!
