I had an abnormal, slightly elevated iron blood test. The Phy. Assistant followed up with a repeat Iron blood test and other related tests. They were done non fasting in the office.
The iron came back a little higher than the previous. The TIBC & Transferrin was high, and the ferritin is normal. Something with these numbers or blood result combinations doesn’t make sense.
I do have fibromyalgia, hashimotos and I take continuous BC for endometriosis. Thus, I have been suffering with fatigue and chronic pain for quite a while.
They discused posibilty of hemochromatosis, BUT the TIBC should be low if that is the case. I am very confused, can someoen shed some light on what these levels mean?
