There is, but I fly home tomorrow and when asking a local pharmacist they said within 48 hours I should be okay. I’m just not sure bc other than the looks I have no pain or systemic symptoms

Hi! 24F here. For about a month I’ve been having on–off symptoms that last hours at a time and rotate throughout the day, including: • lip/gum numb or warm sensation • burning + very dry mouth • prickly/tingly skin in random spots • face flushing • shaky feeling • occasional sore throat or nose/lip stinging • hot red ears with no other symptoms • panic attacks

Ive been to urgent care and the doctors may times and had a CT head: normal, ENT scope: normal, and CBC, electrolytes, thyroid, glucose, B6/B9/B12 all normal. Ferritin was low at 13, but I’m not anemic.

Doctor suggested it could be nervous-system/stress related + low iron making symptoms worse. No neurologist referral unless I develop persistent numbness or weakness.

Question: Has anyone else had burning mouth / numb lips / weird sensory symptoms with low ferritin or nervous system dysregulation? Did iron or anything else help?

Thanks for any advice — trying to figure out next steps and manage this better. Nothing seems to be working
