Hello,
I just made some blood work. Results: Very LOW Iron , Sufficient Ferritin, Excesivelly high vitamin B12 - Anemia or what is going on?
Ferritin --- 63.07 [30 - 400.00 ug/l ]
Iron --- 6.16* [12.50-32.20 umol/l ]
B12 --- 1348* [145 - 569 pmol/l ]
B12 - been consuming right now beef liver 1 or 2x a week. And taking bioactive B complex (with high B12 , bioactive form), but that's not as important as the Iron & Anemia.
I do have some symptoms of anemia: like poor blood circulation sometimes, sometimes also feeling dizzy, fatigued, cold, but also sometimes I feel great, depends a lot of how my day, activities, nutrition is structured.
I'd say that I'm prone to LOW Blood pressure. Been doing a lot of blood works lately, what I've noticed is also that my immune function seems to be HYPO - my WBC and Neutrophils are usually too low [body fighting infection ?] ... My hand skin has like a rash, quite severe [on fall, winter and even now it gets small cuts, sometimes bloody] --- I always thought it's related to it getting severely cold several years ago, but now I think it's likely a type of eczema/dermatitis/psoriasis , will consult with dermatologist. I do have some gut problems, even though I've been optimizing my Gut health for several years, doing various detoxification protocols, parasite , candida cleanses, fortifying the gut with probiotics, healing leaky gut & etc.
Anyways, WHY would Iron be so low , when I'm consuming plenty iron-rich products ? And ferritin, which is the marker for anemia be in the normal range? What could be the root causes of low Iron ? Do you have any thoughts, tips or something useful for me to move on forward solving this health puzzle ?
Thank you !!!
