Good morning Bergit.

I'm 55 year old female.

Perhaps, haematologists are so focused on getting the CBC in the black that they just don't see the whole picture.

I asked my haematologist a while ago what treatment, if any, he was considering for my increased ferritin/liver dysfunction. He said he had "taken his eye off the ball on that problem and must deal with it some time". He seems to have forgotten about it again. I don't think I should have to nag to get some treatment.

I think middle aged/older women become invisible. Nobody truly sees us any more.

Regards
