my range of 10-310 needs to be at 75 to 100. At your range should be at 65

to 80

So this is what we're talking about when we're talking about the iron

transport? The higher transferrin in iron anemia is because it's

increasing it's activity, in order to work harder at carrying the iron out

to be used, since there's not very much there to begin with? The

transferrin was the one I was having all kinds of trouble understanding the

up and down of that.

That is what confuses me. So far I am the only person I know that had low

ferritin at 20 and my transferrin was evn lower, not higher like for most

when the ferritin is low. Any ideas anyone?

Interesting. Do you have any more of this stuff? I am so lost as to my

reactions IE, low ferritin and trransferrin, low blood pressure, low

testosterone, normal HGH,, normal DHEA, etc. Any info is a help!!!

I believe that the human body is just amazing, even in the face of the kind

of abuse we do to ourselves in a lifetime.

yes, my last test in March had my free'e at the top, the tsh 0,01 but the

free t4 was not quite at the top. I was bad and slacked on my iron and

started getting very sick again, so I have upped it and added 17 mg of t4 to

my Armour. The tested me for celiac and they said it was negative. The tests

shows the number as neg, but it says flagged HIGH. I had the DR call and

qualify and they said negative. I have been totally gluten free for 2 weeks

and I feel better and less blotaed, but no other changes and I dont get

diareah

the weird thing, aside from me, is that I can find no example of both being

Yes. Accept that you are weird.....

LOL.

Actually, some of us could have had your situation, but didn't know

since we didn't have our transferrin tested!
