Hi Birgitta, Interesting what you said about the pancreas, I didn't know it could be affected by iron overload. It makes me wonder if the raised amylase/lipase I had with my Exjade reaction was actually from the Exjade. It is the only time I have ever had those enzymes tested. I would have thought they would have redone them when I stopped the Exjade but they haven't.
I might ask for them to be done with my weekly copper tomorrow. Thanks again for the information.
Regards
