[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 158220, member: 15832"] On the 31st of August I arrived at work and was fine, had been feeling well all day, then I walked into work and by the time I got to my area, I was extremely lightheaded and very fatigued. It had been 3 weeks since my last iron/ferritin panel (Aug 7th) and assumed iron and ferritin had to be much lower, so I consumed 1/2 tablet of iron and arose from what felt like the dead. I went on to enjoy my weekend supplementing 162.5mg iron ferrous sulfate (32mg USP), I went bike riding along the boardwalk in Huntington Beach and swam for 3 hours, great weekend even though I was a little fatigued. My energy waned and started feeling like I did on the previous Friday, so I brought out the big guns, started taking 28mg glycinate twice daily and did this for two days and started feeling like fire ants were injected into my bloodstream. I stopped all iron today and the fire ant feeling has subsided almost completely. Either my iron is low, iron is elevated and/or I'm allergic to iron. I have a referral to a hematologist and wanted to get a recent iron test so our conversation would be more productive since he would more than likely order on anyways. I wish I had tested iron before restarting iron supplenting. Now I don't know if I can trust it. [/QUOTE]
