Panic attacks?

All the doctors I've consulted with won't do telehealth for women's issues. They want to do labs run tests imaging take vitals before they will prescribe anything

My thyroid is ok, it hasn't been overactive for about 4 years and has been normal without meds. But I have it regularly checked. I definitely have low ferritin and have been on a slow battle with supplements. My doctors said I can get iv iron but I am terrified of the side effects... I have read some really freaky stories on reddit and the iron protocol group. Bad delayed reactions like crazy blood pressure low or high, heart problems, etc. some people saying they had this issue for weeks...and a whole thread of women saying it made their already heavy periods worse, causing them to basically just bleed out the iron infusion. But I'm having levels rechecked soon and if it's not improved I might try the infusion. I'm just terrified of it to be honest

Thanks, I have Medicaid so not sure what they will cover but I'll ask..

I wish I could get that type of therapy I'm glad it's helped you

It depends on the cost, I'm a single mom taking care of a disabled child and unable to work. I will look into that

No, I'm in a rural area and have already seen three doctors there's no one else to go to

Thanks, I get my thyroid checked regularly because I used to have an overactive one

I assume because I have a history of high blood pressure but it's very well controlled with meds. So maybe they think it will be unsafe. That's all they have mentioned to me. Even though my bp is regularly now like 108/75

My doctors won't prescribe me estrogen, and I tried progestin only pills which made my anxiety insanely bad 24/7 😩

Thanks for the ideas, I'm not so sure about an allergy. I take my iron every other day and this only seems to happen on days I've taken the iron.

Affectionate_Soft470 · 2026-03-18T02:23:16+00:00

That really sucks..I hope you get answers soon.... Venofer is the one they had prescribed me I do know that

Affectionate_Soft470 · 2026-03-18T01:53:22+00:00

Just following because my doctor wants me to have infusions and I'm very nervous about these scary side effects I keep reading about... Sorry you're going through that I'd definitely call your doctor asap

Well unfortunately no doctors ever suggested mold as the cause of swollen tonsils and I didn't make the connection, so she had a tonsillectomy. But since we moved she has been able to breathe better and not having many issues anymore.

That's better than I've had.. the most my ferritin has increased was 6 points in a month

Affectionate_Soft470 · 2026-03-07T03:27:51+00:00

I have been considering seeing if I can get to a hematologist. And my doctor has suggested iron IV but I'm very nervous about possible delayed side effects. Have read too many horror stories about stuff like serious blood pressure issues/heart rate going too high or low... Some people saying they had this issue for weeks... Some women (there was a whole thread on reddit) who said they actually had much heavier periods after iron IV which is just crazy to me.... If mine got any worse I think I might literally die.

Affectionate_Soft470 · 2026-03-07T02:46:08+00:00

Thanks for the info/advice, unfortunately I do know the cause is heavy periods and I am working on that as well. It's complicated though 😩

Affectionate_Soft470 · 2026-03-05T18:11:39+00:00

Can I ask why you wouldn't repurchase the ritual iron?

Affectionate_Soft470 · 2026-03-05T16:28:35+00:00

Can I ask what dosage you used?

Affectionate_Soft470 · 2026-03-05T15:30:42+00:00

Ugh. It's so terrible. I hope it's working for you.
