like bloodwork is coming back good, but weight fluctuations are insane and mentally killing me bc i had an ED years ago. plus with low ferritin you tend to feel like shit anyways. i don’t have anemia, actually had too many RBCs, hematocrit and hemoglobin a few months ago, but crazy low ferritin. i’m exhausted though and have to get more blood work.

Interesting, I also have low ferritin but okay iron and no anemia. I didn’t think it was a big deal.

I’m kinda scared of an iron supplement though because I’m already on so many pills and dread adding yet another

i’m on a handful of pills but no supplements. when i took a multi-vitamin, it did nothing tbh because the iron amount in one is so low
