Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hi zorroceasar, How high are your hematocrit and hemoglobin levels mine are just above the top of the range been that way for yrs. I am allways dehydreated due to low Aldosterone levels and I take Florinef for this and have to add Sea Salt to my water. My body dumps my sodium. When your Dehydreated your labs will show your hematocrit and hemoglobin on the higher side. My hematocrit is 54.5 high top of range 50% and my hemoglobin is 17.9 high top of range 17.1 g/dL. To keep this down my Dr. has me do my Test C shots every 3 days so I am not doing a big shot all at once I do my HCG 250 IU's the day before my Test C shot. And I take a baby asprin 2x's a day. I don't give blood but I do labs every 6 weeks and they take a lot of blood for my labs. I have low Ferritin levels due to being hypopituitary or Secondary my body does not take the Iron from my food due to my Thyroid problems. I take 1 tablet of Ferrous-Fumarate-324-mg from Walgreen my last test for Ferritin was 265. My Dr. checks my Iron this way every lab test. Total Iron Iron Binding Capacity Iron % Saturation Ferritin B-12 And yes your joints and muscles will suffer from low Ferriting or Iron levels.
