Its amazing how well iron infusions work...who would have thought...

3/3/2011

Ferritin: 11  normal: 13-150

Iron serum: 22 normal: 52-150

%saturation: 6%  normal 15-50%

now

3/22/2011

Ferritin: 17 normal: 13-150

Iron Serum: 63  normal 52-150

% saturation: 19% normal 15-50%

Still on the low side of normal but ....ITS NORMAL!!

First normal test I have had in a while. I was thinking it wasn't improved because I bleed everytime I go to the bathroom quite a bit and that is 7-10 times/day.

My CBC hasn't come back yet....so I know its abnormal....which it was all low last time too. But some improvement is better than no improvement at all. PLUS when flaring its great to get good news

Hope everyone has a good night

I have had one iron infusion. But I like you, had good results from it. Within about 3 weeks I was feeling much better and my levels had improved. Probably going to have to do another one soon, but its been about 3 years since the last one, so that was a good run for me:) Hugs!

Wow that gives me hope my numbers might stay up! I found out my hemoglobin is almost normal (11.0) and my hematocrit is finally at a 37 instead of a 33.

Nanners...I hope your infusion works great!
