Experiences with

Iron

I have had low iron forever (except while pregnant), cause endometriosis. I have constantly taken iron supplements - ferrograd C now for over one year and no improvement(see attached results) so I will be getting my first iron infusion on Thursday.

Does anyone take iron supplement with Mtx

Even so, my levels have been dropping quite dramatically: 09/29/2020 Total Iron 92 ug/dL (50-212) Iron Binding Capacity 320 ug/dL (270-400) Unbound Iron 320 ug/dL (155-355) Iron Saturation 29% (15-55) Ferritin 125 ng/mL (10-291) — 12/11/2020 Total Iron 116 ug/dL (50-212) Iron Binding Capacity 346 ug/

I just had my iron and ferritin levels checked due to extreme fatigue and brain fog. Which oddly lifts by noonish. My iron is normal, ferritin is 17. Can my fatigue and brain fog be from a ferritin level of 17 with normal iron levels?

Anyone heard of this ad I am searching for a iron supplements that cause the least sides. https://badgut.org/information-centre/product-reviews/proferrin-heme-iron-polypeptide/

Guy I have anaemia what foods are iron rich

So fellow PA friends, do I take the iron or not?

Rec'd Iron Infusion and it WORKED........ Asked my neurologist to try the iron infusion, even with normal levels of iron after receiving my blood work last year.

I have just received my results via Let’s Get Checked and my Iron level is 31.8umol range is (10.6-28.3) do I need further testing? I have Hashimotos disease and I am not on any Iron supplements.

I would just like to know my actual iron levels not guided by ferritin alone my gp says ferritin test tells you status of iron

Here are my numbers: Ferritin 21.2 ng/mL (10-291) Total iron: 116 ug/dL (50-212) Iron Binding Capacity: 346 (270-400) Unbound Iron: 230 ug/dL (155-355) % Saturation: 33 % (15-55) According to online literature, I may still be iron deficient.

When she returned she affirmed that indeed you do need to leave at least 2 hrs gap or the iron results in thyroxine not being as effective. I started taking my iron at lunchtime.

My blood tests showed that I was deficient in Iron, Vitamin D and Vitamin B12. ♥ I am taking Multi-vitamins and minerals, ♥ Iron Bisglycinate - every other day ♥ D3 - 25mg of D3 Are these ok? What else should I be taking? Thank you and God Bless

My GP believes I’m good but I feel that I’m still lacking iron. These are my results: Ferritin 21.2 ng/mL Total iron: 116 ug/dL Iron Binding Capacity: 346 Unbound Iron: 230 ug/dL % Saturation: 33 % Let me know if you have insights/advice. Thanks!

Hi, been struggling for a while and looking for other explanations, - just got iron panel results so looking for any clues whether iron is an issue for me. I had helicobacter pylori a few years back and know that can affect gut absorption of so many things.

I have historically had iron deficiency requiring iron infusions, however for other medical reasons my periods have been basically stopped. My ferritin wasn’t dripping after the last iron infusion but has now started bouncing around between 250-350.

If my iron is low and I’m getting symptoms of low iron is it ok to continue b12 injections . I’m taking iron and trying to keep levels up but still have symptoms

Thyroxine (T4) Free, 1.62 ng/dL (range 0.82-1.77 ng/dL) Triiodothyronine (T3) Free, 3.2 pg/mL (range 2.0-4.4 pg/m) TSH <0.005 Low uIU/mL (range 0.450-4.500 uIU/mL) Reverse T3, 26.1 ng/dL (range 9.2-24.1 ng/dL) Iron 84 ug/dL (range 27-139 ug/dL) Iron Saturation 26 % (range 15-55) Iron Bind.Cap.

Started iron pills. I rarely take Klonopin but today was necessary but it did nothing for me. It worked for 10 minutes and the poof. I so seldom take Klonopin once every few weeks. Is it possible for iron pills to decrease Klonopin effects?

I was gutted to have to stop my C25K last November (after getting to week 6) due to becoming ill and being diagnosed with very low ferritin levels therefore I was diagnosed as being iron deficient and had to take iron tablets, I couldn’t walk up the stairs let alone 🏃🏽‍♀️. 3 months past and my iron
