Mine is 1600 right now, which isn't good, since it was only 800 last year.  I only skip Desferal a couple of times a week, but I really need to do it 7 days a week.  I need to get moving.   :(

 :huh

Hello to all,

Well I dont agree that ferritin levels should be taken every year...Here in sydney australia we have our ferritin levels taken either every month or every three months...

Mine at the moment is sitting on 500 which is very good...I am aiming to dropping it lower...

Panos,
 :huh

Do me a favour and dont stop your desferal untill your doctor calls you please....You can still put your pump on and wait for her or him to call you...Its important that you still wear it..while waiting...

Take care

After reading all your ferritin levels, I'm too embaressed to reveal mine...
I'm trying! I really am! I can't take L1 so my only saviour is Desferal which is... so diffucult to comply with... but I am trying! I am!
 :sigh
