My iron is a 19 is that normal? I am 7 years out

Doctor said it is low, what do I do? I am taking supplements.Jade

I had to be hospitalized a few months back, I need Iv of iron and blood transfusion. Talk to your dr.

What was your level?

Is that  your iron or your ferritin?  What is the composition of the supplements you're taking?

It is my iron, I am on supplements, I just doubled them.

19 is your hematocrit level.  That would mean your hemoglobin level is about a 6.6.  (Take your hematocrit level and divide by 3 to get hemoglobin level.)  Yes, that's very low.  Normal hemoglobin is 12-14 or so.  

I wasn't always taking my supplements like I needed to.  One day about 4 years post op, I just felt super cranky, teary, moody, etc.  I didn't know what was wrong because going to the hospital and telling them "I just don't feel good" doesn't work so well.  I did it anyway, they drew blood and found out my hemoglobin was a 2.  I was immediately admitted and received multiple units of blood over the next few days.  My level was brought up to a 9.5 by the time I left the hospital.  

Fast forward to earlier this year and my hemoglobin level was sitting at a constant 7.  I was referred to a hematologist who started 12 weeks of iron infusions which brought my hemoglobin level up to a 14.  My color perked up big time from a "pasty" appearance as friends would say and I was actually able to leave the house wearing just one or maybe 2 layers of clothing.  (I was always so cold!)  I was also considering a revision and knew there was no way my surgeon would consider it if my level was so low.

Seeing the hematologist was the best thing I could have done because it helped me to feel so much better!
