Iron Issues 5 Years Post-Op

Aug 06, 2015

At 5 years out I developed Iron issues. I had been taking 2 Sundown Perfect Iron tablets (50 mg Carbonyl Iron) with 1000 mg of Vitamin C all these years. My Iron levels were always great until this year. In May my Total Iron was 39, Ferritin was 6, and Saturation was 8. I had to see a Hematologist and I had 2 Iron infusions in June. I started feeling better around 2-3 weeks later. I was tested again in July and my Total Iron was 75, Ferritin was 187, Binding was 329, and Saturation was 23. I am being tested again in 6 months and was told oral Iron is not recommended and I will need Iron infusions again when my Iron levels drop.
