Chronic Low ferritin. Need advice from those who have fixed low ferritin.

Package inbound. They sent tracking without me asking for it. Love that.

IV bags inbound as well.

Going to pull labs before I do anything.
Not chasing a high ferritin number. More problems will come with that. Seeking a mid range 100 or so. And keep maintaining it with low dose iron IV every 6-8 weeks. Or possibly oral iron since my body will have proper iron storage for once.

But I have a unique situation of also needing to keep my CBC from elevating. Iron infusions can raise HGB by 1-3 total points ( ex: 16 to 17-19)
I’m typically high end range of allowed limits. And I certainly shouldnt do an infusion with an elevated panel.

I did get my HCT down to 50 with daily injection TRT and hydration.
(Maybe CPAP will also help . Takes a long time tho)

More to come
