@drmichaelsays: Iron deficiency can hide behind a "normal" ferritin 👀 If your iron blood test came back fine but you're still exhausted, this is why. Ferritin isn't iron. It's a storage protein, and inflammation, infection or surgery can push it up even when your iron stores are low. Next video I’ll talk about the test that shows what your ferritin can't. Part 6 of my iron series! #irondeficiency #ferritin #lowiron #fatigue #womenshealth
yes my ferritin is high and Im saturation is low. I don't understand.

If we go with the slightest bit of research and knowledge we are branded neurotic hypochondriacs and spoken to condescendingly as we don’t have a medical degree. Not all drs are like you. Js. Coming from someone who’s ferritin is chronically under 10 and the drs don’t care. Wouldn’t even prescribe iron tablets.

My doctor ignored my high ferritin and high tsat. Constantly back and forth with chronic fatigue, stomach issues and severe joint pain, finally a locum doctor sent for a haemochromatosis test which was positive. Now after months of Venesection’s I feel so much better. Moral of the story trust your body and keep on at the GPs
