[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 200907, member: 15832"] A world doesn't exist where I'm on TRT and not supplementing iron, 6 weeks ago my ferritin was 24, iron 42 and started supplementing iron. Today my ferritin was measured at 88 and yesterday was forced to increase the daily dosage of iron do to symptoms of iron deficiency returning after reaching a stable state (exactly 6 weeks) on my new protocol. Hours after increasing the dosage of iron, a ferritin lab was run in the urgent care do to my symptoms, lightheadedness, dizziness, fatigue, cold hands, feet and body chills all day long forcing me to cover up when it's 72 outside. The increase in iron snuffed out these symptoms within several hours and have felt warm all day today and feel better. I'm one of those guys that will experience symptoms of iron deficiency with normal blood parameters including hemoglobin, MCV, MCH, MCHC when iron and ferritin are below ranges. How is it that I can still be experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency with a ferritin of 88? Did taking the iron so close to the ferritin testing skew the results? [/QUOTE]
