Sorry Phil I'm a bit confused now - on your other post it says if you're having

depression and mental problems but on this one you say it's not too low?

OK if you have low levels of Testosterone you can feel like your Depressed but

it's not true Depression it's your low Hormones. Last time I read Dr. M's site

about low Ferritin he said he likes to see Ferritin higher in true Depressed

People this could be a brain imbalance not a Hormone.

I was told on another forum that people with adrenal fatigue/low thyroid

falsely report high ferritin levels because the body is storing the iron in

preparation for an infection. This is due to all of the inflammation that is

caused by the low hormones. Mine was reported at 84 before I began treating

my adrenals. Now that I've treated them, my level is at 47. So, this may be

something to consider.

Ferritin should be under 100. It produces free radicals, oxidation and

aging.

Abnormally High ferritin can lead to Low T.

Your local doctor is thinking about pure iron storage, NOT a guy who is

being expertly managed.

Be well!

Sorry i'm confused again now, my endocrinologist said ferritin should be higher,

but wants to raise several things at once (b12, vit d and ferritin? can't

remember which but he said you needed to raise them altogether)

Who's right please, i'm now conused? Dr seems to say one thing and Dr

Ullis another? i dont' want to cause argument but i am just confused, please

can someone clarify?

thanks

I don't feel one can get there Ferritin levels up onto the mid 100's on

pills one would need to do shots. Best I could do is about 80 on some strong

pills. If I take the pills on the week of my labs yes my levels would be high

like that. But my Dr. tells me to stop iron pills about 5 days before doing labs

so he can see how I look off the pills.
