Chronic Low ferritin. Need advice from those who have fixed low ferritin.

Not 6 weeks yet.
Will pull in a week or two.

Oh word. Time doesn’t exist in my brain. I forget what day it is.

Hope for good things. I’m pulling some new labs here soon as well.

Copper, ferritin, apob, CRP, cbc, cmp, thyroid. Check off my known issues.

Labs came back, but values aren't useful,..

My hsCRP came back at ~11, and my ferritin went from ~100+ to ~700+.
With an elevated hsCRP, the ferritin value is useless.

I don't have an issue with ferritin tho (different from you), my issue is a continuously dropping hgb/hct/iron sat. hgb/hct fell by another .6 and 4 points. Keep this up and my hgb will be <10 in a few months.

It feels like my body is storing all my piggy iron and refusing to convert it to usable iron..it might actually work for you.

I probably need to repull the hsCRP and ferritin..hsCRP seems to fluctuate like..every few days -- kinda useless..

Damn.

I need to pull labs on Friday. CRP as well. See where I’m at. I definitely have to be in better range. Haven’t been supplementing any iron either. Just food sources.

.3ml test cyp twice a week ish, and recently as of two weeks ago 25mg proviron daily for a libido boost.
Had to take some exemestane a few days ago still lol.

Somehow feeling bigger and stronger than I was on blast months and months ago.

When I was cutting I was craving steak all of the time. Ended up just doing steak and eggs as my breakfast 7 days a week. Was glorious and amazing.

Discovered I was anemic. Whoops. Before bed I supplement iron and vitamin C. The vitamin C helps with iron absorption. Hasn't been an issue since.
