DarlinDeb...

My ferritin level was only 13!! Are you saying I'm anemic?
I see my lab says 12-156 is normal.
I know that may not mean anything.
I am trying to get to the root of my pain.
Would this level affect that at all?
I'm def. D deficient and working on that.

Always request a copy of the results, and look them over yourself. My ferritin was only 22, and I was told everything is fine, 20 is anemia. I also have that up to 40 now. It had been at 22 for over a year when I mentioned the level, that's when I was told maybe ferritin IV's were needed.

You have to watch out for yourself. Many people have been told Vit B12 at 200 is fine too, and we all know that isn't true. Research, research, research.
