I got a call from my doc today about the recent lab work I had and everything is great (I'll be picking up the results to confirm) except my copper which is apparently high at 220.  The only added copper I'm getting is from my multivitamin which gives me 2mg/day.  From what I can tell .9mg is the RDA and the upper limit is 10mg/day.  

Have any of you experienced high copper levels?  Do you have any advice about what I should be looking into?  I'll follow up with my doc as soon as I'm able to.

In all my years as a midwife I only came across one woman with Wilson's - it's not that common, but definitely MUST be treated - hopefully this is just a passing phase rather than a lifelong disease (don't I sound cheery - sorry!)

This looks like something my ophthalmologist should be able to diagnose?  I'm due for my yearly eye exam...
