Ferritin
Just wanted to say that my experience shows that the counts will drop on their own over time. At the time of my NIH visit, my ferritin count was 2200. I got my last RBC transfusion the following month.
I avoided iron-rich foods (cereals are really bad), and my ferritin is now down to 500-900 every month. It has been lower, but I eat more meat these days and do not restrict iron.
