ahh..here's a tidbit of info
"Iron deficiency anemia comes on gradually. When your rate of iron loss exceeds the amount of iron you absorb from the gut, iron stores are slowly used up. At this stage, ferritin will be low, but serum iron and TIBC are usually normal and there is no anemia. As iron deficiency worsens, serum iron levels fall, TIBC and transferrin rise, and anemia starts to develop. With prolonged or severe iron deficiency, the red cells become small and pale."
All my other labs are excellent...my total cholesterol is 136.....no problems with liver tests or glucose tests....I know many of us are showing higher LFTs and wacky glucoses.
