Guest guest Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I am a carrier for a common gentic disease amongst the Irish. Too much iron if you have the disease. I do not have the disease (hemochromocytosis) but my hematocrit is almost always at the highest point before being high. My Stills symptoms were migratory arthritis, horrible sore throat, high spiking fevers ( 104 ) at 4p every day, lacey rash, They of course checked me for everything under the sun for over 6 weeks. My sed rate was very high...yes my muscles killed me too. 2nd flare lower fevers rash became itchy. 3rd flare fever no more than 99.9 Flares lasted 8 months Now twice a year for about 2 months I feel like ( rhymes with rap) some symptoms sometimes just that. Have raynauds now and a tiny positive ANA. Weak after 5pm ..people even ask why I have a gimpy walk Nice.................
