I had blood work done on December 27, 2018, and my ferritin level was 1431. I stopped drinking alcohol immediately, and after another test 30 days later, my ferritin level dropped to 1162. I am currently taking Allopurinol for gout. What are my symptoms, and what medication have I used for this? Have I seen a doctor about gout? Is there anything else in my medical history the doctor should know?
