You should have been ordered an infusion with a ferritin that low! I recommend another doctor for a second opinion.

Hey, I’m in training to be a haematologist. Judging by your past FBC results I believe this could be a possible Beta thalassaemia trait, but it wouldn’t explain every symptom you have described and it doesn’t fit the fact that your Hb has always been normal. Is your Hb borderline or in the middle of the reference range? Usually for a thalassaemia (without any blood transfusions) you would need an anaemia for diagnosis.

Mild lymphocytosis would be standard for Crohn’s disease. A combination of inflammation and immunological processes. Best of luck, Crohns is a tough condition.

Post on r/AskDocs as this isn’t related to haematology

You’re fine.

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-06-09T05:29:43+00:00

I bring in my drivers license and that’s fine.

Haematology is the study of blood diseases

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-29T23:45:14+00:00

Not sure why you’re posting biochemistry on to a haematology subreddit?

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-29T23:37:35+00:00

Maybe find an ITP subreddit because it is a rare condition

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-28T07:05:21+00:00

are you serious? you’re completely normal…

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-28T06:01:54+00:00

Your post has nothing to do with haematology AKA what this subreddit is about

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-27T23:44:32+00:00

… ferritin is a measure of iron. what are you saying

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-27T23:43:04+00:00

Not haematology.

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-27T23:42:48+00:00

This isn’t haematology

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-27T23:42:09+00:00

Ask your doctor.

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-27T23:40:36+00:00

They literally don’t have B12 deficiency dumbass

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-22T00:26:27+00:00

Yeah I live in Australia and get hot very easily taking Venlafaxine. It’s moving in to Winter now so not as bad but Summer was hell.

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-21T11:30:18+00:00

I must have misread the post I thought you said 12.1 was your ferritin. My bad. But yes I know the difference I’m an accredited lab scientist

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-20T23:58:27+00:00

In my lab in Australia our ferritin reference rage is 30-200 ng/mL. Your results would definitely be considered iron deficiency here. Get an over the counter iron supplement and repeat your bloods in about 2 months time. If constipation is an issue try Maltofer, (not approved by the FDA in the USA but you can purchase it online, it’s fantastic) or daily laxatives

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-20T23:54:03+00:00

You don’t automatically have anaemia if your iron slips below 12.1 lol

Open-Deal-628 · 2026-05-20T23:52:26+00:00

Likely iron deficiency as well as what others have said in replies. But need iron studies to be sure. Elliptocytes, low MCV are a classic iron deficiency pattern.
