[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 72870, member: 972"] I'm not sure if Nelson can help me. I'm hypopituitary and on all hormones for 10 years. I was very well 3 years ago. Then my ferritin tanked to 15 and this of course makes me hypothyroid. "Low ferritin=hypothyroidism" When I'm hypothyroid I get bad fibromyalgia. Sore cramping muscles and sore joints. I was in bad shape before I was started HRT and then I got very healthy and felt really good for a long time until my ferritin crashed. I've taken many kinds of iron etc and all it does is raise my HCT and BP. So my MD put me on Losartan (thanks to posts on this from Nelson) and this fixed the BP so again I'm taking 81mg daily of Bluebonnet extra strength chelated Iron and my ferritin only gets to 70 at best. Once I got it to 90 and was just starting to feel better but had to stop to do labs and my ferritin crashed again. I assume my body no longer absorbs iron properly. Before TRT my ferritin was very high (like 300). I cut out all tea and milk and any minerals I used to take and I take no calcium so I'm unsure why this is occurring. I suspect I need to get my ferritin to 120 - 150 to feel normal again. It would appear that injecting 40mg Test E3.5D somehow contributed to my ferritin crashing from the high number it was before. I do not know if there are anymore options for me or if Nelson can even help with this. I would gladly pay for his services if he could help me get back to where I was. I was thinking that perhaps if I switch to androgel, maybe this would help with iron absorbtion, but I don't know. My MD has no idea what to do but he is willing to try anything that's reasonable. Do iron injections help if you cannot absorb the caplets? [/QUOTE]
