Hi Lloyd,

I just got my new lab numbers and they are:

Ferritin  Jan. 05 was 367
             Apr. 05 now 109

AST   Jan. was 170
         Apr. now 57

AST   Jan. was 171
         Apr. now 60

I never did get another phlebotomy done since last months failure.

So, guess it took a few weeks to balance itself out. But, I did notice that all my differentials are just a tad high...the doc didn't say anything about those... My serum Iron is high...it's 247..-was 150 in Jan....don't know what that means? Platelets are 143...MCV --105 --MCH-36!! I'm not sure what those numbers mean either, but I've been told they have something to do with the liver functions & inflammation!!

So, I'm happy with the lab results.

Anyways, Lloyd I appreciate just knowing that you are there for support and you have helped me very much in the last couple of years!!

Email me if you have any input ..OK?

Bye for now,
Ellen
