[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry that doctors are stupid about the topic of ferritin, but they are. They will say anything over 12 is fine. It's not for all people. I never feel right unless my ferritin is more than 50. I was so lethargic and having trouble breathing and was ignored for years. Finally, I saw a doctor who tested me for ferritin. My ferritin was 7! I took Ferrett's Iron Supplement, 325 mg. Get your blood tested again because you also do not want your iron to get too high! You can ask your primary or a good doctor when a good time is to get checked. For me, it took about three months to get my ferritin from 7 to 50 or so. You can help this along by eating meat and being sure to have any calcium APART from taking iron. Don't eat calcium pills or foods at the same time as iron. Vitamin C helps with iron absorption. You could eat beef and drink OJ at a meal. Not my fave combo but it fits the bill for helping with this issue. [/quote]
