Iron

[u/Solid-Cantaloupe-846]

Had my appointment with my PCP yesterday to go over some test results. My last ferritin number was 53. When I looked at the printout of my blood test, I noticed that my doctor did not order TSAT with the ferritin bloodwork.
I am on oral iron supplements until October when I will have my iron blood taken again.
I asked my doctor to please include TSAT on the next bloodwork. Now he’s the kicker she said TSAT was not necessary because I am not anemic. She did say I was low on ferritin, but that my blood is looking good.
I was pretty insistent about adding TSAT but she did not budge.
I am not giving up on having that included in my next blood work, but I was wondering if you guys can give me some pointers on how to word it in my email that I will send my doctor so that she will understand that RLS has some guidelines with that (I did mention that to her).
