Have Been Anemic, Trying To Locate A Leak. Iron Levels Keep Varying. Suggest?
I have been anemic now for about 6 years.. I'm 61 yrs old.. Female.. I've had all the tests trying to locate a leak in me somewhere all negative.. My count now is 11.8 but ferritin is 8 .. It had been at 4 .. I've been getting IV Iron about every 6 months.. It's frustrating .. It goes up then down .. No one gives what I have a NAME...
