Leukopenia and Ferritin that goes up and down.

Posted by seriouscurious1 @seriouscurious1, Nov 4, 2022

It’s appears I’ve had lukepenia since 2017. maybe prior. I noticed my ferritin was elevated as well. Recently my elderly mom blood work said her ferritin was 555 and now has dementia. I continually try to connect all this together but is it possible the ferritin or iron overload is causing the low white blood cells because as I try to lower the ferritin
Naturally (with Bind by systemic formulas) and increase my white blood cells( with REAL BUILD A Beljanski product) When I consume products with iron in it my white blood cells decrease. I’m curious because I put off bone marrow testing and the hematologist sorts of ignores my ferritin levels and continue to focus only on my white blood cells cells. I have no liver issues. Not on any medications, no other health problems . Just a extensive history of dental work, X-rays, and antibiotics. I Guess I’m wondering if I’m on to something or not.

I had acute myeloid leukemia and have dealt with blood counts that were wildly out of range, but I am not a doctor and can’t evaluate your blood count records. Since your hematologist recommendation a bone marrow biopsy, I would recommend doing it. It will help the doctor make a more precise diagnosis. I’ve had 12 bone marrow biopsies - they were painful but the benefit of a diagnosis made it worth it. While you are trying to control your individual counts, you have to address the underlying reasons for your abnormal counts.
