Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 i would cut right over to a script iron like chromagen forte or repliva. repliva can build 2 points a day on ferritin stores. it's the fastest thing next to a iv infusion. and much easier to tolerate too. can you get a doc's script for this?agPosted by: "swid441" pete.swiderski@... swid441Thu Jan 8, 2009 7:50 am (PST)Her ferritin was 49.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I emailed my wonderful Dr last night and he already answered me saying he is sending a prescription to me for repliva. Does it really build 2 points a day on ferritin stores? Sounds great. I could not find ferritin mentioned in anything I googled on Repliva. If you have anything, I would love to read it. My bloodwork is confusing to me because my serum iron is high and yet my ferritin is 24 and my temps have dropped and hypothyroid symptoms have returned. Seems contradictory doesn't it?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yes to me high iron and low Ferritin do nto make sense, but I have never claimed ot understand how iron works inthe body.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I used the Chromagen Forte after using otc 150 mg iron for 3 months with no effect. Got my ferritin up to 70 something with the Chr. in 6 weeks. After this I went hypo for a period of time and my ferritin slipped to 62 or so. It was then that I took a recommendation to go with Repliva to boost quickly. 7 doses got me from 62 to 80. It was that fast. Because ferritin is so vital to the use of thyroid hormone, I wouldn't wait. The whole time I was trying to build ferritin with otc elemental iron I was building up high RT3 on armour. I didn't have any stomach issues with Repliva. Not that I liked the stuff, but 7 days was nothing to complain about. It did bind my thyroid hormone somewhat even though I took it at night well away from T3 dosing. It might have been binding from T3's reentry into the intestines for reabsorption.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Lets think about this...since Ferritin is the storage form of iron and really is about your iron stores, what would make the iron high in serum? Anybody have any experience with this? I have always been anemic with a bleeding problem and am hypo. Probably making rT3 that is why I feel bad and no doc has picked it up.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yes, it does really build 2 points a day. Take it with 1000 mg vit C. It comes in 21 doses followed by 7 doses of 'absorption' pills. I researched these and they, as far as I can tell, are nothing more that a vit c type material that allows for absorption. Why wait?? Take the Vit C with it. Forget those stupid red pills. I don't have anything saved on Repliva and ferritin. Only have the experience of myself and another woman who had the same to say as me- builds ferritin fast, go for it! Sol would be a better one to comment on high serum iron and low ferritin. This isn't something I get. My guess is that it might be a sx of hypo.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thanks for the great info. Can I just ask.....are the 7 pills to be taken after the 21. It doesn't make sense that one would want to have the iron absorb after the fact. As you said why wait, just take Vit C. Did you just toss the 7 and use regular Vit C at the time? Is this what you did and it still worked well? I just begged my doctor for them and hope it comes up quickly. Yes, it does really build 2 points a day. Take it with 1000 mg vit C.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yeah, the 7 "inactive" pills follow the 21 iron pills. I did take the Vit C with each dose of iron. Took it at bed. Tossed the 7 absorption pills. Worked great without them.AGPosted by: "birrdyy" birrdyy@... birrdyyFri Jan 9, 2009 2:06 pm (PST)Thanks for the great info.
