Hi Cousins & group
I know you are probably tried of hearing me talk about this Hemochromotosis bu
t I want to show you were I'm comming from, this Mutated Gen, is running
amuck in our family, I don't want any of you to feel sorry for any of us, we
can live a normal life because we know about it, and we can be treated. It is
the ones who do not know I want to reach, especially my Cagle line, If we can
save one life it is all worth it. This Iron overload can cause so many
medical problems, and there are doctors out there who know nothing about
this, you need to have special tests to find out if you have it. (Iron,
Ferritin, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) and Tranferrin Saturtion (TS)
and there is a Hemogram test that will tell you if you are carrier or what
gen's you have, you can have a 1/2 of a gen , one gen, a double gen or a
triple gen. It can skip a generation. My dad was very ill and I made them
take the test on him, they called me today and said he was positive. Now
because he was tested we know for sure It goes in a straight line for me.and
it has been passed on to my children. This makes 5 generation in a row from
my gr grandmother to one of my daughter so far) This test has to be taken
every year.

This is the way it looks at this time
Notes: Three more distant cousins from Charles Feb 11, 1780, and wife Susannah
1781, off of there son David Benjamin Cagle and Elizabeth Carmicheal,
decedents, David is brother to my Henry E. Cagle and wife Martha. I have
tried to let as many cousins as I can find Charles Arter Cagle had 19
children,14 children lived, (5 children 1st wife and 9 from second wife.
Still trying to find more of these family members, so they can be tested or
know a little about what to watch for.
This is why I keep telling all of you to get tested for this, we are going to
try and get all the information together to leave to are descendents, this
is a gen that we carry and well go on thru all of our children and their
children.
Love to all my Cagle family and Cousin's NancyJane
