your ferritin is over 100?

Yep, it dips slightly when I’m on my period, but I have severe endometriosis and PCOS so that’s expected, and have been medicated for it for 10 years and been mostly without periods for 4 years (nexplanon, literal god send, a very light period 2-3 times a year). So doesn’t explain the constant 24/7 symptoms

oh man that’s so unfortunate:( low progesterone is linked to pcos and endo. have you gotten hormone testing?

Every year. My mom and I are both disabled, they don’t know why I am so they’re making sure I don’t have the same shit my mom has. My hormone levels are fine, which really sucks. It’s like I have every damn symptom in the book but not a single abnormal test other than elevated ANA, which could mean anything and nothing

yes! iron is how your body transports oxygen so when your whole body is oxygen deficient for a long time it can lead to secondary health problems or perhaps maybe it just mimics them. i had pots when my ferritin was 11. i couldn’t stand or walk

iron deficiency is common in celiac disease. 1 in 50 people has celiac disease but only 1 in 100 ever gets diagnosed. there are a lot of common risk factors for iron deficiency

My ferritin was 3 😭. It’s better now (got iron infusions) but it didn’t ever get past 80 even at the peak after multiple infusions. Makes sense why I have so many of these ig. Idk how else to get it higher though. Any ideas?

i recommend three arrows iron repair simply. it’s heme iron (made from animals instead of plants) and it’s exponentially more bioavailable than any other supplement you can find or be prescribed by drs. i’ll link a guide that has all the info you need about iron deficiency and taking iron repair. i recommend reading it or at least skimming bc this is newer research drs aren’t caught up on yet, and it can be life changing for a lot of women.

for more info join ”the iron protocol (for iron deficiency with and without anemia)” on facebook. people are extremely helpful and the group expert is amazing and can answer any questions! most of the info is in that guide i linked anyway. the fb group has its own guide but i found it really difficult to read. the guide i linked is the same info but much easier to read
