Our Local Livingstone Shire Council are lighting up red this week for Hemochromatosis week. A good reminder for a blood test if this is an issue for you or a loved one. Sometimes, you don't know you inherited it - until you happen upon it. If you have been feeling tired and flat with aching joints for a long time - talk to your doc about this.

The key messages of the week are:
🔴 Haemochromatosis is the most common genetic disorder in Australia
🔴 If you are the 1 in 200 affected, it can cause serious health problems
🔴 Ask your doctor to find out if you are storing too much iron

Do you have a friend or family member wanting to get online - but they feel a little daunted by the process? Perhaps they need a helping hand? Invite them to the hub tomorrow morning at 10-:30am, and I'd love to help them through the process. We will go through security check up, online posting etiquette, and have a little look around - add a friend, follow a page, and make sure they are aware of scammers and the like.
