Debby- Sorry for the long post but I need some help!

January 23, 2008

I don't know if anyone responded about the iron levels, so I'm going to now

even if it is a repeat. :-) I was going to look at my numbers on my last set

of bloodwork, but I can't find it! I had it when I went to the doctors

office the other day.... Anyway, my homoglobin and hematocrit were fine and

in " normal " ranges, but my ferratin was 14. Ideally it should be at least

70. So, yes you should still ask for your ferratin level to be checked just

to be sure. :-)
