I've been thinking about you. Hope all is well and you get good results. I had a biopsy once (boob tissue).. Actually, they surgically removed a lump and then biopsied it. The results were that I'm awesome (I already knew that, knot a surprise)
I was lookin around and...chelation seems to be a viable option for tissues in conjunction with the phlebotomy threatments but it needed to be specific because several therapies will actually draw more iron out of foods. Have you been given a diet to follow as well?
Im sorry to hear all of that...I remember something else about this that may be nothing but can't totally form the thought..I'll get back to you it..haha..anyway..yeah A doctor that actually wants to know "why" is invaluable. Ive been to a few bad drs but luckily see a pretty group now. At least it was caught before it became more severe. it probably doesn't make you feel great to know it could have been caught a long time ago if anyone had looked for it. Youd think it would something a rheumatologist would catch. if it makes you feel any better I had to actually fight for a cancer diagnoses...sometimes the medical field is astonishingly incompetent
I obv have no idea but I wonder if your body would try to uptake the stuff already in tissues if they got you to anemic levels with the blood letting ..or if even leaches could get it out of tissue
kind of thinking "out loud"..nobody has offered a solution? why are they doing the biopsy? just to see how bad it is? Im sorry youre in pain. my last post was supposed to say new diagnosis
the best answer I've ever gotten was that perhaps my thyroid gave me a reduced rate of absorption...I have a lot of a problems with iron, B vits and vit D..and my diet doesn't seem to be the cause...I tend to show a low RBC count and a high WBC count with an absence of evidence of infection. Is this a diagnosis for you?
