D,
Just in case if you're mistaken, that's not my Ferritin but my D3 which is 62.70.
My Asunra dose is same, 1700. The ferritin as done as last around 22 days ago was 45XX (not sure of last two digits), which was not a much reduction in 35 days, only like 230-250 units.
I'll get the ferritin done next time.
Unfortunately IP6 is also been discontinued since quite a while due to light stomach issues (not related at all due to IP6 but because of some food I had ate a while ago). I hope to start it soon again though.
And no, not enrolled in any program.
-P.

Also Andy,
One thing is noticed is that despite of reaching this level, I'm still not feeling like the days before osteoporosis.
My knees still hurt when I sit on them.
So what it actually takes to recover 100%?
My calcium levels are good too, and now D as well.
Would I be 100% reverted back to what I was?
Or is it like nevermind of reaching this level, but slowly on maintenance dose, it'd continue to improve? Kinda makes me sad. I don't even know how I would recover 100% from the damage done by osteoporosis that I still live with today.
However, I'm better than earlier for sure.
Best,
-P.

I can't say for sure that your knees will recover fully, as chelators can also cause joint pain, but I do believe things will improve as you continue to lower your iron load. Yes, this is also affected by the iron load, so just keep working.

Thanks Andy. I'm well aware about Kelfer and some leg joints shape is minor-ly affected by it too, but didn't know Asunra can cause too. But I was fine however before Osteoporosis and was taking Exjade/Asunra since one year before it struck.
However it's not just knees, but the whole legs. It just feels I'm not still there.
Iron load and causing pain? That's interested, never heard before.
Thanks again.

Andy Battaglia:
Yes, iron overload causes joint pain. Exercise will help bone strength. Walk as much as you can fit into your schedule. I'm envious of your D level. I have yet to reach 40 and feel that >50 is optimum. Give your body time to get the iron out and to repair the damage that iron caused. It takes 17 months to remove half the iron from your heart, so this is a long process. Once the iron load is low, it is easier to keep it low, because you're no longer cleaning out large iron stores.
