Dealing with Low Ferritin Levels and Health Concerns

I went to my nero doc and my head is fine, and that my ferritin is still low. Even though my primary doctor told us countless times I was fine 😐 but anyway, she prescribed me a new iron pill instead of the one I was taking turns out the one my primary doc was giving me wasnt really getting absorbed. So in the next three months I'll be taking a iron pill a day, and trying to go vegan. One step at a time, and I'm going to go to the doctors some day to check for diabetes and my thyroid. HOPEFULLY I DONT HAVE DIABETES OR THYROID ISSUES 🙏🙏❤️ For my neck and lower back pain, the nero is going to be doing an x-ray to check if i have scoliosis, or just any problems. Hopefully all my symptoms will go away once my ferritin goes to like 70, its at 15 and the lowest was 4.

I was following your last posts, and I’m really happy to see that things are getting better for you. I suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency and it’s amazing to see that just like your iron deficiency, how one tiny thing can have such an impact on our bodies.

My old iron pill had a chemical coating and it was making it hard to absorb

I’m happy to hear that at least some of your symptoms have been addressed! I hope you’ll feel better after the ferritin treatment
