Iron Deficiency Update

I'm posting an update on my iron deficiency anemia treatment;  back in May 14, a couple of weeks back, I underwent another automated hemogram and later received good news on my progress.

Based on my test results, my hemoglobin level had increased along with my ferritin.  My hemoglobin back in March 26th, was 11.5 and it is now 12.2, as for my ferritin; it went from 23 to 29. Although my ferritin is now within normal range of 29, it needs to be at least 100 for overall health  and healthy hair growth.

So far, I've been making good progress and still taking iron supplements; I was taking 975 mgs of ferrous sulfate with 3,000 mgs of vitamin c tablets, but was advised by my hematologist to lower my dosage to 650 mgs per day on iron which I now do.  Two iron pills per day instead of three a day and continuing to eat iron enriched foods.  I'm due back to my hematologist in August for more follow ups.  More updates will follow.
