Joint pain is the most common complaint of people with hemochromatosis. Other common symptoms include fatigue, lack of energy, abdominal pain, loss of sex drive, and heart problems. However, many people have no symptoms when they are diagnosed.

If the disease is not detected and treated early, iron may accumulate in body tissues and eventually lead to serious problems such as

arthritis
liver disease, including an enlarged liver, cirrhosis, cancer, and liver failure
damage to the pancreas, possibly causing diabetes
heart abnormalities, such as irregular heart rhythms or congestive heart failure
impotence
early menopause
abnormal pigmentation of the skin, making it look gray or bronze
thyroid deficiency
damage to the adrenal glands

So, I will go with pseudogout.....I guess.
