That's great news Panos. Are you taking the Ferriprox oral solution yet? Take 2 capsules of IP6 on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. Do not eat any protein foods until at least 30 minutes have passed. And keep up the good work. I am really happy to hear how much your ferritin has dropped. L1 also helps protect your heart so there are benefits that you won't see with ferritin tests but you will see with T2* or SQUID.

Guten Abend,

In that case we are nearly neighbours ;) You see, I live in Apeldoorn. That's 1.5 to 2 hours from the frontier :) We pass usually the frontier by Arnhem. Where near the frontier do you live? I did attend concerts in Arnhem Oberhause and Köln in the past  :shy And we went around Chirstmas to Münster. I dont speak German very well though, but I do understand it pretty good. I start to love Germany more and more :).

Too bad you did develop diabetes :( Umair has diabetes as well, so there is at least one person who can tell you more about that.

Auf wiedersehen,

Dore
p.s. I dont have thal, but the rare anemia pyruvate kinase deficiency. It is an North-European anemia. I get every 3 weeks a transfusion. Chelation therapy goes slow, because my child doc did not treat it (very well). I started with the intensive therapy when I was 16, so I am doing this since 5.5 years. I am allergic for all meds, but this fourth try of Exjade is going well. I got a fe. of 2400.

Hi Panos ,
I m sorry to hear that you got diabetic ,  but its good to hear that never thought to give up and you raised up ur self and strongly determined to fight not to give-up .... keep this spirit alive in your self and be strong always, as you are now .... yeah ,as dore mentioned, i m having diabetes and managing it ( trying ) with insulin .... variation and fluctuation of BSLs in diabetes is a normal thing for thals and non-thals, but its dificult to controle with thalassemia , as Hep-C also play's its role in ups and down of BSL ..... but with time its settle's up and you got to knowing the how many units/dose to take on wat level of BSL .... sooo feel easy and never b afraid to it ... as your S.Fe is decreasing you will see more changes and your diabetes will bcome more easy to handle .. you will see the noticeable decrease in the need of inuslin when your S.Fe will decrease more ... here is a thread that i started a couple of months ago, when my S.Fe was decreasing , its about the change in the "decrease of S.Fe and need of insulin" .... i hope it will help you understanding alot ...
here is the link : http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=1870.0;highlight=diab
( i m Diabetic since april 2006 ) , i m always heere to help, soo please feel free to ask if you want to know about anything ....

Best Regards

   Wow ! Amazing!  :congrats :hi5boys

I hope I really could try Ferriprox myself. Been dying to try it for months now but no doctor would prescribe it yet, since no medical representatives would introduce them to the pills. Although they have it launched it on our local group already, still they have very small knowledge about the Ferriprox.  :dunno  ??  :wah

Baal,

That is great progress!  It shows what committment to chelation can do in a short time.  I think that you can further slash your iron levels in no time. 

Best of luck,
