I attempted to give double reds today and was turned away due to too high of a concentration of iron in my blood. The number was 21.3 and the cut off for double reds is 18....whole blood is 20. They told me to come back tomorrow and they can pull a tube and run that on a different machine which often leads to a lower result.
The whole goddamn reason I went today was because I know I have high iron. I was told so the last time I gave double reds 4 months ago...they let me donate even though it was around 21 again.
So what gives? Why is my iron so damn high? I might eat a green salad per week and don't take any iron supplements. I did have 4-5 squares of spinach pizza for lunch which might have contributed.
I'm on 150mg of test E every 7/8 days and take vit B, vit D3, fish oil, vit K2 almost daily. The little bit of research I've done tells me high iron levels can be dangerous over the long haul.
Anyone ever been booted like this before? I don't have insurance and am not about to pay for a therapeutic donation.
Any advice appreciated.
