I am on day 19 of Exjade treatment. Ferritin count was 1600, this week. Liver function is normal. Renal panel showed some elevation, but I am not as knowledgeable, YET, in that area. We all must learn as much as possible!

Yes you are right we must learn always.
Even though my ferritin is low and has been for years, occasionally I have this uncanny feeling I have too much iron - and perhaps in red cells is. Apparently fibromyalgia can be brought about by injury to muscle or joint, so if you/your body are stressed and cause injury to the tissues, or a bump or a dislocation.. this is my theory. On the other hand fibromyalgia is not always the same disease, here they call it the "bag" when they do not know how to call a problem. They tried some silly drugs that made my daily dizziness a nightmare type-dizziness, and I said thanks but no thanks. Perhaps it is some inflammatory/metabolic thing?
