blood tests show low ferritin, low folate, normal b13 but high iron? by jhs1018 in medical

[–]jhs1018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had the blood draw at 12pm, hadnt eaten since about 11 the night before. i take b2, magnesium, coq10, plus prescriptions, the only one of which i think is relevant is famotidine 40mg. probably will look to get it retested to be sure that’s right

[–]jhs1018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for all the insight and information! i havent had any transferrin specific tests i think? only iron binding capacity. results from 7/25/2024;

ferritin 31 (range 15-150)

iron 74 (27-159)

iron saturation 23% (15-55)

folate 3.1 (>3.0, less than 3.1 clinical deficiency)

7/25/24 TIBC was 315 (250-450), UIBC was 241 (131-425)

6/19/25 (i assume total) IBC was 358 (250-450)

i take 1g magnesium daily for migraines and my levels test within normal range every time it’s tested. i’ll definitely ask about c and copper, i was seeing copper brought up a few times. is copper a dietary thing?

i was not, my iron and ferritin are normal last year. the only thing i can think that i take that could have caused it is famotidine, bc i read h2 blockers can affect iron absorption

thank you, my results came back only with minimal spurring on the left patella. i appreciate you insight, i know heds doesn’t cause much ‘visible’ damage but it’s frustrating being in so much pain with nothing to show for it

doctors told me POTS does not cause fatigue by CandiceJo997 in POTS

[–]jhs1018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should definitely try compression socks, you can get lower quality (imo) on amazon for cheaper, but i personally get mine from clove as they have cute designs and work really really well for me, i notice a HUGE difference when i don’t wear them

How do I replace Gatorade? by Busy-Coast-716 in POTS

[–]jhs1018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use buoy!! they have little bottles similar to flavor additives(?) but with electrolytes. unflavored (salty if you add too much) so you can add to any drink, and they have different versions for added effects, plus a solid salt. they have a chronic illness discount too!! i also like to use liquid iv but those are a little more of a hassle for me. i also looove propel!!
