These may be easier to read on this link here https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33417203/Lab_Tracking.xls You don't need to have dropbox to view the link.

My ferritin's going down.  My liquid ferrous fumarate has been doubled from 280mg to 560mg and I take 2mg chelated copper and 750mg vitamin C with it to help absorption.  I take it 2 hours away from other vites and an hour away from eggs, dairy and nuts.

I'm on the Vitalady prepackaged vites minus the iron batch (Tender iron wasn't tender enough and had me all crampy) plus I do 2,000mg calcium hydroxyapatite in the form of Bone Booster Complex, Superior Source Triple K (K1, K2 MK4 and MK7) and Superior Source Vitamin D3 -- 10000 IU.  The Superior Source vites are meant to absorb under the tongue into the blood and not go into the digestive system.

I think my zinc is coming up, but I had the draws at different labs so it's hard to tell as last time zinc plasma was 10.5 and this time zinc serum is 12.2.

My D's on the way down despite increasing it - I may have to look into sunbeds.

What I take from Vitalady is at the bottom:

They look pretty good and I think you have a good handle on what you need to do. I'm glad you put the comment on your vitamin E last time, I was thinking way to high, but you're good. Keep us posted on the vitamin A.  Can you get Proferrin or heme iron to go with your fumarate? It might help.

I looked at proferrin and saw it so expensive I didn't go for it (especially given that I have a whole load of Tender iron I didn't do well with).  I thought doubling the liquid iron may do it.  I see my consultant on Friday and I was going to mention infusions (not that I think I'll get it before I'm a year out which is July when I next see him).

Shall I add in a single Tender iron tablet for now (60g)?

I'm swayable and willing to listen, but I just don't want to waste more money.

You might try one Tender iron with food other than eggs, wheat, caffeine, calcium/dairy.

They wouldn't run my E this time. I will ask my consultant about it on Friday.
