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.
