[QUOTE="scooby0048, post: 4264081, member: 50693"] No, I finally went to get my men's health blood work done and it came back back that my Ferritin levels were through the roof. About 5 times as high as they should be. Normally, the body processes iron and does not allow excess iron to absorb. In my case the body does not stop absorbing the iron causing an overload. The body cannot rid itself of excess iron and thus it is stored in the organs, leading to premature organ failure if not treated. The good thing is, it is very easy to treat by doing regular therapeutic phlebotomy. As [USER=46212]@Wally[/USER] mentioned above, I will be giving blood once a week until the level is under control. Once under control, I will just have to give blood enough to maintain the levels. Normal people can only give blood once every 2 months or so where as, I can give once or twice a week depending on how fast my levels drop. But using the pans and taking the multi-vitamins are not helping. [/QUOTE]
