Had a follow-up with my hematologist the other day. More blood work. Turns out my "iron stores" are back up in the normal range, but I'm still technically anemic since my hemoglobin and hematocrit levels are below normal. She's going to wait 6 weeks and test me again. If I'm still anemic, she's going to do a bone marrow biopsy on me to figure out what's going on. Fun!
@leejackson , I deal with this "anemia of chronic disease" thing intermittently. Hang tight, 'cause if you're able to store iron, that's really encouraging. I'm back on iron tabs for a while after having been doing well enough to donate blood earlier this year. That was slightly dismaying. One foot in front of the other. 🤗🥰
