I had a flu jab 10 days ago and started feeling very nauseous and tired a few days ago. I had a my 4 weekly venesection booked in yesterday and my ferritin levels had spiked and wondered if the jab was to blame ?
Hi, I am on month 5 of weekly phlebotomies. I started at 3075. After first month 2647 2nd, up to 3125, 3rd 2856 ,4th 1901 and latest 2055. So I'm on a rollercoaster.....but I've been told the liver may purge back into your system when you get rid of some via phlebotomies. Don't know how true this is
It’s frustrating when it spikes asi feel like it’s one step forward two steps back !
Do you ever feel sick and nauseous when it spikes ?
No, but I feel defeated. However I'm looking at my iron and sat levels and they are coming down and my binding level is coming up so that's good. Trying to find positive. Hang in there.
I don’t really pay much attention to
Any other levels except my Ferritin. what is the binding level
Thanks

This is what binds the iron to be depleted from the body... I believe. The higher the level the better that means more iron isn't getting into your system.
