Hi Margjean,

I'm not at all sure about iron levels, you normally post in the Thyroid forum and perhaps it would be better to post this there as they may have more knowledge about such things.

Sending lots of positive healing vibes your way 😀

Hi Margjean

I am so genuinely sorry to rea dthat this has you concerned and I suggest that you discuss this with a medical professional who can explain it to you properly. I would not take anything without your GP or Medical Specialist saying that it is necessary.

I have pasted you a table below of normal ranges of Ferritin from the WebMD website:

*Excerpt from WebMD

*Normal

The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.

Ferritin 1 Men:

18–270 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) or 18–270 micrograms per liter (mcg/L)

Women:

18–160 ng/mL or 18–160 mcg/L

Children:

7–140 ng/mL or 7–140 mcg/L

Babies 1 to 5 months:

50–200 ng/mL or 50–200 mcg/L

Newborns:

25–200 ng/mL or 25–200 mcg/L

I have also pasted you a link to the NHS Choices cache on this issue:

I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you
