Post Date: 2/7/12 5:08 pm Got to see the doc today and got good news. My ferritin is up from 4 to 137. Hemoglobin is up from 8.9 to 10.3 (and he said it will continue to rise now that I have stores), and my hematocrit is 33 up from 27.3.
I can definitely tell something is happening. I've cleaned things I haven't even looked at in months! Decluttering, cooking like I used to (tonight was chicken marsala, garlic mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach!), and not wanting to sleep all day.
He said he feels my numbers are good enough to go into my revision surgery without an issue. He'll see me back in 3 months then again 3 months after that to check for the trend in my iron. He said I should not even bother to supplement with oral iron at least until we see how my body naturally handles the iron situation.
Thanks for reading!
