Now I have a question

I have been blessed and only had a transfusion several years ago. Doubly blessed that darbepoetin alfa has kept my HgB above 8 since 2006 except one time. DA is the only thing I take and the transfusion was because some quack told me to stop taking it.

Now for the question.

Last year my primary care at the VA had a test done for ferritin level. No reason other than it had never been done. It came back right at 700 but has since marched up to the edge of 1,400. Liver function has always tested perfect.

I will drink a glass of red wine occasionally (every two to three weeks) and do not smoke. Any thoughts ??
