Basically when one sees ferritin like that and other things like %sat terrible it most likely is inflammation of some sort. What happens is as cells die from inflammatory process they release the iron stores. So the problem here is some sort of inflammation - though there may be some other explanation too. It does not appear as liver issues, and we can't tell you where it is from data provided. Another possibility is type 2 diabetes.
Other than diabetes check, one can get homocysteine and CRP labs, but you need a good internist or other doctor working with you.
A general anti-inflammatory supplement is boswellia which can help out on inflammatory responses of the body, but you need some care team coming in and actually caring. That is the trouble today in medicine, believe me doctors care if they are allowed, but insurance and MBA's run medical offices and hospitals.

Thank you. This group is so helpful to me! It is comforting to know that people want to help and I'm learning so much instead of feeling helpless and that no one cares.
My liver test were all in normal range. Perhaps, some of my cells are dying from the Radioactive Iodine treatment in June and that is causing the inflammation as it kills my thyroid tissue. I was tested for diabetes 1 and 2. Results came back as Pre-diabetes (insulin resistant) so my Endocrinologist prescribed Wegovy because of Pre diabetes, high cholesterol and high BP with my cholesterol and BP being pretty well controlled with other medication. Basically, if I eat sugar, bread, starches and some fruits then my glucose spikes and I do feel even worse when that happens.
I'm going to make an appointment with my internist to see if she will order homocysteine and CRP labs.
I've never heard of boswellia. I'll try it. Thank you again.
