Question for Andy...
Emby:
Lena you really are someone to look up to. And mashaAllah, as God willed, have done really well on the combi....I know what I have written but I also believe that no harm can come to you unless God wishes and no good can come to you unless God wishes and even if harm comes to you and even if good comes to you, it is only through His Eternal Wisdom and He wants the best for us...I believe that.
My internal feeling was not good when H was told to start on it and maybe it was Allahs way of saying something to me, that this would not be good for him and then He allows some people to take it and IT IS good for them....sorry I'm babbling on, it's just what I believe.
Andy Battaglia:
Lena,
I commend you on your constant vigilance. I am curious about your experience at low ferritin levels. Does your diet affect your ferritin level? Do you find that if you eat high iron foods, that there is an effect on your ferritin? I am curious because the official recommendations for thal diet is to not worry about iron rich foods, because the amount of iron is so much less than what is in one unit of blood.
Dharmesh:
Hi Lena,
Little surprised and happy to see you on board after a long time. :biggrin :biggrin
Your Fe, scan results are really fantastic..
Hope you will get ur desired results early.
May i know your bt requirement at present?
Emby:
With H things were being drawn out of his body along with the Iron while on this chelator, so Lena do you take sipplements or have you had take something major while your ferritin has been so low and have you always felt well physically? Do you think his Dr is right to be concerned about lowering ferritin levels further?
Emby:
H has been told to start eating and drinking again alhamdulillah. The amylase is now 36 and slowly other issues coming back to normal. The Dr says it takes a week to flush Exjade out of the system...so slowly nearly there inshaAllah. He might need to carry on with some meds at home. Still at the hospital...may Allah grant him shifa...ameenl
