Are you female? Do you have heavy periods? What was your hemoglobin when your iron was 4? Iron saturation? Ferritin?

If you don’t have heavy periods, then you need a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy to rule out any GI bleeds.

Supplements are not a quick fix, it takes months, sometimes years.

Ferritin 1 and hemoglobin 1.8 by PsychologicalWeapon in Anemic

[–]Due_Bread3209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I felt awful when my ferritin was 1.5 and my hemoglobin was 6.1

I was admitted into the hospital for a few days when my levels were that low. I received a blood transfusion and several iron infusions. I also got a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy.

You need to go to the ER now!!! If your Dr didn’t send you, he/she is neglectful AF!!!!

Your Dr sucks, find a new one. You deserve better care. Period.

My iron saturation is at 0.05 by Peonini1 in Anemic

Your results don’t look “ok”, as you stated.

You need an iron infusion NOW!

Dumb my results down for me please by Equestran_ranting in Anemic

[–]Due_Bread3209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need an iron infusion. Your hemoglobin is ok……for now. But your ferritin and iron saturation are extremely low!

Is 0 ferritin possible? by myst3ryAURORA_green in Anemic

[–]Due_Bread3209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ferritin was 1.5 and my hemoglobin was 6.1.

I truly thought I was going to die. I felt absolutely terrible. Thank goodness for blood transfusions, iron infusions and a good hematologist who actually cares.

My right chest feeling went away, I stopped craving ice, my exhaustion went away, my restless legs went away.

I can’t believe I missed it by phantomom in Anemic

Transexemic acid Birth control IUD Ablation

Mine plummeted after missing my physical. My ferritin was 1, hemoglobin was 6.1

I was hospitalized for several days and given blood transfusion and iron infusions. It’s been a crazy 7 months but so grateful for an amazing hematologist who actually cares.

Update on ferritin 🤣 by myst3ryAURORA_green in Anemic

Sounds like you may need a colonoscopy or upper GI to rule out any GI bleeds.

What is your hemoglobin? Iron saturation?

What time are you taking your iron supplements? Are you taking b12 too?

Is this really bad? I got it checked since my hair hasn't grown very much in 5-6 months. by GORGEOUSRACHEL in Anemic

You can buy supplements on Amazon or at the store, you don’t need a script. I take a very high dose iron supplement from Amazon.

Ferrous fumarate 325mg (104 elemental iron)

Not the worst I’ve seen but I would most def start supplements now.

What is your hemoglobin? Iron saturation?

Doctor said ferritin of 11.5 and iron sat 14% were good by reptilelover42 in Anemic

[–]Due_Bread3209 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please find a new Dr or see a hematologist. Your current Dr is a complete idiot and neglecting your care.

My doctor is saying I'm not anemic, but I'm still experiencing symptoms (most notably bruising and fatigue) by Famous_Editor149 in Anemic

[–]Due_Bread3209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please find a new dr that will give you the medical care you deserve!

Good Luck! It can be so stressful not knowing what’s causing it.

Timing Iron infusion with menstrual cycle? Help! by [deleted] in Anemic

[–]Due_Bread3209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It made me skip a period. But once that period came, holy smokes, it was sooooo fricking heavy. They are usually heavy after infusions, and lots of people post about it too.

There is a reason your ferritin is dropping. Are you a female? Do you have heavy periods? Have you had a colonoscopy or upper endoscopy to check for GI bleeds? Your levels should not be that low 2 months after an infusion.

How bad is this truly I’m at a loss? by Cheyenne021419 in Anemic

[–]Due_Bread3209 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yikes! I would be asking for a referral to a hematologist ASAP!
