    hemochromatosis help!

    Hello everyone I googled hemochromatosis and steroids and this site gave me a bunch of hits so I figured someone on here might be knowledgeable on the subject.
    over the past 6 months ive been having some strange iron levels show up on my blood tests

    during my cycle 6 months ago of 800mg test 600mg deca and 600mg EQ and some anadrol my iron panle came back with LOw serum iron, normal transferrin low saturation and 800ug/l ferritin range was 30-400.

    I stopped the cycle and got retested 3 months late and serum iron was normal, normal transferring, normal saturation and slightly elevated ferritin 450 (30-400) slightly elevated liv enzymes, low test, low LH.

    so I though **** having low test i'll jump on another cycle (500mg tren a, 500mg test prop, 500mg mast per week, 5iu HGH/day and low dose aromasin ) no orals and now the readings came back very similar to the first cycle except ferriting is now 1200 ug/l (30-400)
    and AST 61u/l (<41)
    and ALT 231 U/L (<51)

    RBC has been normal on all tests.

    could it be excess dietary iron? because I used a rusty cast iron pan a lot until I got the high ferritin the first time then i changed it out for a non stick pan but then I went back to cast iron pan about 6 weeks ago because the non-stick started peeling and shit. could that cause it?

    I don't know whether to hope for a positive hemochromatosis test or what the hell else could be going on. any help would be Greatly appreciated as the docs just blame the steroids and I had to push them even to do the hemochromatosis test.

    You don't have haemochromatosis.

    if you do, your ferritin won't go up and down, it will only come down after a blood donation. if you are worried, you need to have a fasting transferin saturation first, after that a HFE gene testing

    See the guideline for diagnosis of haemochromatosis

    that link is broken, I had some pretty bad muscle inflammation in my lower back/glutes from squatting heavy and overtraining during the first blood test and the last when the ferritin came back high, I wonder if that is enough to cause it?
    the transferring and stauration levels I quoted where tested when fasted, 4 things were tested each time Iron/Transferrin/Saturation/Ferritin.
    am I missing something?
    what else could it be if not haemochromatosis?
    fatty liver? dietary iron? im stuck for answers and with the weird results I cant find shit on google that explains it except maybe inflammation, cancer or haemochromatosis. I feel fine except muscle soreness in my back.
    I hope it isn't something serious I just watched a 31 year old die from cancer and this shit is making me think the worst.
    I have a 4 month old daughter and as much as I love roids I would give them up in a second if i even had a shred of evidence that it can raise ferritin but from everything ive read it shouldn't cause it and there is an underlying problem im just hoping to get a clue as to where to look, the ****ing doctors are useless.
