World Haemochromatosis Awareness Week 1-7th June 2025
Hemochromatosis is a condition where the body absorbs too much iron from food, leading to iron overload. This excess iron can damage organs like the liver, heart, and pancreas, causing serious complications like liver disease, heart problems, and diabetes.
Haemochromatosis, aka the Celtic Curse, (Or, as I call it, the Celtic Cunt.) is what’s caused nearly all the medical crap that’s happened to this thing I call my body.

Pancreatic tumor: √
Diabetes: √

Iron to overloaded my gall bladder, causing its rupture. And that’s when I woke up with zero idea of who the fuck I was. Where the fuck I was. Or what life I’d been living.
I’ve typed up a bit about my experience over here. And this site is where I publish stories about living life as an amnesiac.
The main treatment for hemochromatosis is to remove iron from the body with scheduled visits for phlebotomy. Luckily I’m not scared of needles.
