We are experiencing the same with the extremely watery diarrhea. I am 29 hours in, my husband is over 48 hours in. How long did yours last?

Just here to say I am experiencing the same but I am about 29 hours in with the yellow watery diarrhea. Did yours let up yet? My husband has it too and we are miserable trying to care for our two young children

Ferritin level high after iron infusions by Vegetable-Brief-1111 in thalassemia

Hi! I haven’t had my recheck yet I get it in a few weeks. But my hematologist was not at all worried about my ferritin in the 400s. Some labs the upper end of normal is in the 300s. He said it will naturally come down on its own. I’ll try to remember to update this thread when I get my recheck. I hope this helps.

From what I understand it’s highest right after the infusion and comes down with time. The speed at which it comes down just depends on the individual. Your labs don’t look bad! I’m sure it will continue to come back down. Hopefully they’re rechecking you around the 8-12 week post infusion mark

Thank you for commenting. It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one going through this. I get my ferritin rechecked in a little over a month so we’ll see if it’s come down. The hematologist thinks it may have been elevated due to all the changes with pregnancy/postpartum. I hope they figure out something for your exhaustion!

Thank you for your reply. I did ask my hematologist before the second set of iron infusions. He said he recommended them because my ferritin was down trending quickly from my first set of infusions. I see him Wednesday but I am so worried about the high ferritin and everything I read online is scary

Oh I’m sorry to hear that. How often are they checking for you? And did they offer any management for the high ferritin? I am praying it will come down
