Ferritin Level Up A Little!

I had my ferritin rechecked the other day and it went from 22 to 34. Maybe I'm absorbing nutrients now. They rechecked it because I've been having very heavy menstrual bleeding, I thought for sure it would drop dangerously low but it actually went up!

Congratulations!  I'm hoping that my ferritin levels are increasing too!

That's good news.  I am hoping the same for me.  I recently began a supplement.

 

What specific improvements have been noted since the supplement began?  I am working on this, or should I say it.  I think I am losing some inflammation and numbness.  I may be losing weight.  More time will tell exactly.

I still get the tingling thing in my fingers. But my hair is less grey which is really weird. I've read here and other places that greying of hair is a symptom of low iron. It hasn't been long enough to feel a lot of improvement yet but I'm glad to see the number go up

This is exciting....my hair also became less gray as my nutrient levels improved. Took me a very long time to climb back to all good levels...hoping you all have much improved numbers quickly.

Thanks for sharing your good news :)

Ugh!  No signs of improvement on my grey hair which is really grey for my age!  But I don't color it.  My signs of improvement  (which could also be contributed to my increase in thyroid meds) for the anemia are reduced fatigue, bright red (instead of pale pink) inside my eyelids and a desire to run or ride my bike!  Really low hemoglobin causes me to get out of breath, just talking!

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      I would hesitate to recommend tetracycline or any antibiotic as a long term therapy option because of the negative impact it has on the gut biome. I took it for years as a teenager for acne and I'm convinced it was a contributing factor in my having developed celiac disease.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      Welcome to the forum, @Pamp8, I stopped foods high in iodine, like dairy and eggs, kelp and iodized salt. I take Niacinamide also called Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3. I haven't taken the tetracycline with it. It seems to make the blisters disappear quicker. I also use tallow balm, a cream made from beef fat, which has been used for thousands...

      First off, I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this for so long—being sick for half your life is unimaginably tough, and it’s huge that you’ve finally gotten some answers. A celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming (especially on top of being vegan!), but it’s also a turning point. Your body is about to start healing, and that’s hopeful! This article has s...

      Yes, it is likely your villi healed, but if you are exposed to gluten regularly again the damage will likely come back and cause some potentially serious health issues.

      Welcome to the forum, @Pamp8, I stopped foods high in iodine, like dairy and eggs, kelp and iodized salt.   I take Niacinamide also called Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3.  I haven't taken the tetracycline with it.   It seems to make the blisters disappear quicker. I also use tallow balm, a cream made from beef fat, which has been used for thousands of years.  It is absorbed into the skin better than creams made from plants.  It helps prevent or lesson scarring.  See the study below. Two Cases of Dermatitis Herpetiformis Successfully Treated with Tetracycline and Niacinamide "The combination of tetracycline and nicotinamide can be recommended as a useful therapy for patients where dapsone is not available or for patients who do not tolerate dapsone." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390734/

This last year it got way worse. I lost 40 pounds and had to drop out of school. I ended up getting and endo and blood tests and got positive results for celiac. I am looking for advice of ANY type. I am vegan so this is a big adjustment to add this to my diet. Thansk fro the help.
