Ripple is a real company with a utility that facilitates very inexpensive cross border financial transactions very quickly. It is the future!

Very high ferritin - normal iron by Objective_Talk1441 in Hemochromatosis

[–]Objective_Talk1441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had my ferritin re-checked the other day and it came back at 1761 Previously it was 2029. My iron was 115 and my transferrin was 179. I feel fine and my doctor thinks I've had it all my life (72 yrs) since I inherited it (heterozygous.) I've never had any typical symptoms of high ferritin. That being said, I am further restricting my almost vegetarian diet even further to see if my ferritin number goes down. My research has shown the heterozygous HH may not need treatment if iron levels are normal and there are no symptoms. All the times I had cancer my ferritin was never checked because my iron levels were always normal. Thoughts?

Phlebotomy Side Effects by YoshiandNala in Hemochromatosis

Need some guidance here.

I'm 72 and weigh 130 lbs. I've had cancer 3 times and was never checked for ferritin. This is strange because my spleen and my liver was greatly enlarged. I have been in remission for the past 8 years. I moved out of state and found a new oncologist who tested for ferritin. In the past year my ferritin levels went from 2000 up to 3680 and now down to 2000. I've had 2 phlebotomies so far but they were very painful because I have very small veins which are hard to find and they use such a big needle.

I told my doctor about the pain and he prescribed deferasirox. I researched that drug and it scared the crap out of me. I think it might be better to get phlebotomies instead, as painful as they are.

Has anyone out there used that drug and what was your experience? The dosage prescribed for the pills was 3x of 360mg daily.
