Up until a year ago, my blood work showed low ferritin, low red cells and I would receive infusions. When it flipped to high ferritin last year, my oncologist said he would watch it. He has done nothing so far. But at my pulmonary visit last week, my doc mentioned that my blood oxygen was approaching the level where I may need oxygen. I don't want that.
Amanda,
When my ferritin was high I started taking Zinc and Copper supplements and it worked. Zinc brings the levels down but also depletes Copper, hence the combination. I hope this helps. When ferritin is high, usable iron is low. I take a teaspoon of unsulphered blackstrap molasses, with 2 teaspoons of Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional yeast in milk. I have normal values now. Doctors are not trained in nutrition. When there is no medication they can give you, then nothing happens. A Nutritionist may help.
