hemochromotosis

I have cirosis of the liver, I have never drunk alcohol and the doctors are not comming up with any cause of my cirosis.
The closest I have come up with a cause is my hobby of making stain glass lamps and the fumes from the flux and lead soldering fumes.  I stopped the hobby about 10 years ago but my liver is still a problem.  
I have esophical varicies, hypertension, enlarged spleen, and acitities.
What do you think my problem is?  Is it hemochromatosis?  Any suggestions for me to give my gastroentogist?

Definitly get tested for hemochromotosis. I was diagnosed wth it 9 months ago. You need to find out now though before more damage is done!
