Have you had a COVID vaccination or tested positive for COVID in the last 6 months? My ferritin plummeted after vaccination. IV Iron so far seems to be the solution with hematologist - see this thread about sudden Anemia and low Ferritin after vaccination "Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?" PS - OTC and perscription Iron supplements did not help so IV iron was only option.

No. It is from the phlebotomies.

After covid vaccine, my hemoglobin would not come back up despite oral iron and 5 iron infusions. I had been off and on oral iron for about 10 years and it always worked before vaccine. I have now been diagnosed with Waldenstrom’s. Did vaccine cause Hemoglobin to not come back up?
