Ferritin

Hi Zoe,
within the last 8 years my ferritin has never been higher than 21, usually much lower. My hemo is not excited, for him I may or may not take iron. However, my ortho said that "there is no room" in the marrow whatever that means. He is good and very knowledgeable too. But apparently there is a danger of getting too much. Curiously, I do need more iron near period though it is not heavy; sometimes have terrible headaches/neck pains. I do supplement occasionally with iron, because a few times I was hovering around the lower Hgb limit.
