Re: Vitamin Question to LaWanda

Hi Ramona,

Make sure he is also checking your ferritin levels. One possibility is

that your iron is high because you're burning your storage of it. Also,

never trust a statement that " Oh, everything's fine " when it comes to

labs. Get copies yourself, and look for any numbers that are falling. It

is MUCH easier to keep numbers up than it is to bring them back up after

you've used up your reserves, and sometimes it can't be done. Sometimes

it can result in permanent painful damage. I know several people who are

in that situation.
