Dr. Alvin Lin answered

Search Internet: I found many online support groups for polycythemia by searching for "polycythemia search group" (http://goo.Gl/u06c9s). I'd suggest asking those members for assistance in your area. Same goes for hemochromatosis support groups (http://goo.Gl/8yvkzb). As for symptoms, check out http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/polycythemia-vera/ds00919 & http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/hemochromatosis/ds00455.
