Dear patient.
Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.

I can certainly understand your concern. you indeed are having a rare combination of hemochromatosis and factor v leiden mutation.

I would recommend the following:

1) Hemochromatosis: one needs repeated phlebotomy to keep the hb below 15 n decrease the iron stores.

2) Factor v leiden mutation: this is a genetic disorder and there is no genetherpay available for it currently. I would recommend you to take aspiring and clopidogrel all through your life. they are blood thinners and will reduce the frequent TIA episodes.

I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.

Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.
