Ferritin levels dropping - can you explain it?

I have been anaemic and on iron tabs which were working, went down to 1 a day but the ferritin levels started dropping so went back up to 2 ferrous sulphate a day but just got tests back and ferritin levels still dropping. Hb levels still high (for me) - constant anyway.

GP calling me on Tuesday to discuss but can any of you clever people think of a reason why this is happening? Guess I'll need to have all the wretched tests again, colonoscopy etc, but had them 5 yrs ago and found nothing.

I'm really fed up with it all.

Sorry can't help, but just wanted to bump for you and say I know how annoying this is. I am anaemic too at the moment and am just about to start my own thread asking for help and felt bad ignoring yours

Hope you get some answers.

Thanks. I was sure I wasn't the only person in this position.
