[QUOTE="GreenMachineX, post: 69206, member: 15245"] I'm in the same boat as everyone here, my ferritin was an 8 and hematocrit was 47 a month ago after donating once a month for a year with prescribed phlebotomy. I'm prescribed 160mg/week split in 2 injections but have dropped to 140mg per week and will probably drop to 100mg per week split in 2 shots. I've been taking Ferrochel iron twice a day for a month and had my follow up labs today. I'm concerned my hematocrit has climbed up again. A year ago it got to 57 with TRT at 160mg/week and HCG with b12 injection at 500iu twice a week (unsure of b12 amount in there). What's everyone's low ferritin symptoms? My heart pounds with exertion, I get dizzy when I eat and get occasional palpitations. It's nerve-wrecking. Also, I was getting a little constipated so I skipped 1 day of iron and all of my symptoms returned and haven't gone away in 3 days yet. How is missing just a few doses of iron capable of screwing it all up again? Unless taking iron was only masking the symptoms and my ferritin is only marginally better... [/QUOTE]
