i have been doing a lot of research about iron, specifically ferritin, over the last few weeks. at my last appointment, my doctor made it sound like my ferritin level was almost normal. the "normal" range is 15-290. i'm currently at 11. back in may, right after fainting, i was at 3.
my research has shown that, while 15-290 is indeed the normal "range", ideal is something more along the lines of 100. a ferritin level of 70 is necessary to regrow hair. no wonder i'm losing hair and feeling tired. did i mention my number is eleven?
rather frustrating, and confusing. it seems as if ferritin is a bigger problem than my doctor let on, but is it the ONLY problem? that is the question.
i really wish someone would just figure out what is wrong with me.
out.
