Hmmm. My ferritin had been pretty much stable at around 1200, but in Nov or so it went up to 1800, and now it is at 2200. I know that's going the wrong way, but the units of red cells have been getting smaller and I've had to ask for 3 units at times. I am trying to keep my HGB higher than the 70s & 80s just so I can get through the work day (I am a programmer and can't think when my HGB is so low).

So I've been getting more blood, he reduced my exjade dose despite my ferritin being at 1800. Maybe my creatinine was up.

So I don't seem to fit the high ferritin explanation.

Maybe it is a real increase.
