Re: Joint pain in hands, knees, etc...

,

I am taking iron (195 mgs.). I had a bottle of iron from CVS and

take 3 of them, which adds up to 195 mgs. I read some posts about

this and it said to take approx. 200 mgs. and then retest after a few

months. I could actually feel it working, the first day I took some:

more energy, mental clarity, etc...

My Ferritin level was 28 (I thing I read that normal is between 80-

90). I went back over the last year's bloodwork and my ferritin has

been low for at least 1.5 yrs. and the 2 doctor's that tested it

didn't pick up on that (What a " surprise:!!)

I take cynomel 5 times a day, along with my HC. I added the fifth

dose (by splitting up one of the first 4) because I was soooo tired

in the morning and this last dose, that I take at bedtime.. helped

immensely.

Hope this helps,
