Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
High CRP level is suggestive of inflammation. In case of inflammation s ferritine is not a good indicator of iron store. You should go for serum iron level.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.

Wish you a very good health.
