ferritin

[Guest guest]

My ferritin was a 74 this time (June 3rd). Last time (Feb 26th) it was a 63,

but what I don't understand is that this time my SERUM iron was too low, a 30

out of a range of 35-185, with the litle bit higher ferritin storage. I tested

in the midafternoon, 3 hrs after eating a huge juicy hamburger. I also ate one

at work at about 3 in the morning, so this serum value seems kind of goofy to

me. I know it doesn't seem to hold as much importance as the ferritin, but I

just thought that was strange, considering the THINGS that I normally eat, plus

WHEN I ate them.

Janie is right, till you get that ferritin level up, your body will have a

hard time with the thyroid meds and you will feel very hypo. 1/2 is from

being hypo and half from low ferritin. My level was 20. I felt tired, my

heart beat fast like I was having a heart attack.

Was this message for me? My ferritin is 37 on a scale from 10-232. B12 was

983 on a scale of 200-1100

Maybe I missed a post?
