Is Inability To Walk A Sign Of Hemochromatosis?

Hi, and thanks for checking up on me. I have not yet figured out why I cannot move in the daytime, but in the dark and at night I can. I considered hemochromatosis, but the symptoms don t really fit. I have started an herbal tea medicine to work on the bone marrow, and it seems to be very slowly improving. But I still can t explain why it happens in the first place. Thank you for your help. It is very appreciated. - elaine silverman

Hi elaine,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. No, hemochromatosis does not cause difficulty to walk.
2. I am not sure it is anything related to hemochromatosis as you can walk at nights and not in day. Are you able to move your limbs during day time? If you are able to move any of the limbs, then you will require psychological support and counseling.
3. Routine hemogram along with serum iron investigations will give a guide on hemochromatosis. Liver biopsy can confirm it. If more details are available regarding investigations and clinical history, i can be more helpful.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
