Level 6 Ferritin
I have been feeling miserable for months. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks in July due to necrosis of the pancreas. About a month after I started experience leg cramps, headaches, weakness, fatigue and memory loss. The nurse practitioner had me take a blood test which showed low ferritin (8). I was getting worse with my joints also hurting. 3 months after the last lab test I took another test. The Ferritin came in even lower at 6. The nurse called me and told me my labs were normal. Is a level 6 after taking supplements for 3 months after having an 8 normal?
