[QUOTE="stevep, post: 98632, member: 13484"] UPDATE: I had my Iron tested again this week after completing 30 days of [COLOR=#333333]Ferrous Sulfate 325mg. I also took 1000mg of vitamin C as a recommendation from here. I asked my PCP to include Ferritin in the blood work and he did that, but not an Iron draw. You can see below the Hgb and HCT improved some, but Ferritin is low. He doesn't want me donating whole blood just yet. He provided me with another 30 day Rx of Ferrous Sulfate.
