I was quite iron loaded (starting ferritin around 444). It took about 6-8 months, but I noticed a significant improvement in mood and energy after getting de-ironed. It was really noticeable. I also was able to handle dietary carbs much better.
I personally think lowering iron was one of the key things that I did to improve my health. There's lots of studies about the long term benefits of keeping iron near deficiency, as well.
Very interesting. How much did you donate per session? How fast did your bloodwork change? Issues with loss of bloodvolume, how long until the plasmacomponent is renewed? What was your lowest interval between sessions?
