I am back on infusions for low ferritin. In May 2016 I had a ferritin level of 6, I had some gyn work done (D&C, cysts removed), had infusions and everyone figured I was good to go. My periods have been lighter (though still heavy vs most others). My levels are back to a 6 for ferritin. I've made an appointment with a hematologist as my PCP seems uninterested in root cause just happy to give me another set of infusions.
I know there are some others here who have an issue with keeping healthy iron levels. Anyone figured out root cause. Have any suggestions?
I eat red meat, I take iron supplements.
Thanks!
