Ferritin
Hi Cheri,
Too bad with the high ferritin level! Remember that infections lead to increased ferritin and you have had pneumonia. I think that if the ferritin level has increased suddenly it can decrease fast when it is treated.
When my bone marrow suddenly "got tired" during late spring and I had to get txs every week my ferritin level increased to 5600 though I was treated with Desferal in connection with txs and a low dose of Exjade (due to low WBCs). Then I started to take Thalidomide and didn't need txs. After 6 months my ferritin was 1400 and now it is about 1000.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
