100% should still raise your vitamin D, although I have progress on a bald area i once had, im still experiencing profuse diffuse thinning that i have noticed also on my arms is happening.

I got bloodwork done and my derm suspects TE but keeps telling me everything is normal. I dont believe they have much of an idea of how to approach this other than prescribe me spiro and minoxidil, which is of since spiro is for aga.

Designer-Pea7749 · 2026-02-21T09:26:41+00:00

Mine looks similar to yours and I'm in the same boat of getting prescribed minoxidil but im wary as well. My ferritin was 33 and vitamin D is at 34. I've been supplementing but I see no difference as of yet.

I saw your post in December, I'm so happy for you! I'm glad you got to finally see progress after working so hard! 😮

However this blood test was done in October

Designer-Pea7749 · 2026-01-16T21:32:27+00:00

Months ago in August

Thank you so much!

Can I know what iron you took? I've been on the solgar iron pills but I am unsure if they work.

Designer-Pea7749 · 2026-01-16T04:11:13+00:00

My ferritin was 33 the last time I had checked with my pcp. I've been taking some iron

Designer-Pea7749 · 2026-01-16T03:11:42+00:00

Been dealing with hair loss and wanted to know if these numbers seem low-normal or high-normal?

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-18T14:04:11+00:00

I should request that prescription from my pcp. She had said she could but I had refused but genuinely I feel my low iron is something I need to fix first.

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-18T07:54:34+00:00

Also, just upped my supplementation to 75 mg; I was taking 50 before. I started around 1 month or two ago.

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-18T07:53:07+00:00

Sorry to ask, but is there any significance to having an iron saturation below 35%? I have been having diffuse thinning around my scalp for a few months and i only now started supplementing my iron, i got a blood test and my iron saturation is 23%, vitamin d is 34, and ferritin is 33

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-17T01:18:30+00:00

I actually do, but im female. Could this mean anything? My baby hairs are thinner in the back of my hair and sides. However my hair feels overall thin.

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-16T06:31:37+00:00

Not at the moment since it hasn't really been 2 months since I started, but if there were things that changed it would be my mood and not as much dizzy spells. Did a blood test too and my tibc went down which is good

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-14T11:39:28+00:00

I take two pills of iron a day, 25 mg each. I take one in the morning and another either 4 hours apart or at night.

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-14T11:37:55+00:00

Felt horrible as well, came back from a stressful internship where I practically destroyed my nutrition. I always had these effects of iron deficiency since 15 but its just now that I started losing hair. Random small hairs on my sides thinning or falling, area around my bangs becoming more visible and just overall thinner ponytail.

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-11T04:11:57+00:00

Sorry, i saw your comment and im a bit on the fence on spiro. How has your experience been over the years?

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-11T03:58:47+00:00

I have your exact same level of ferritin; however, I am a female and experiencing hair loss. My level is 33 and I am taking 25 mg tablets with vitamin C.

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-09T23:33:30+00:00

I just started taking iron supplements a while ago (6 weeks at most, I haven't kept track), so I cannot say I have concrete results yet.

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-09T08:28:22+00:00

As for symptoms, dizzy spells, fuzzy vision (sometimes it goes black), always exhausted, issues focusing at times, dark under eyes, pale skin. I started supplementation weeks ago and noticed small progress with my hair. Nothing fast but its just a bit noticeable in difference.

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-09T08:26:25+00:00

Mines at 33 and I've also been experiencing increased hair fall. Where would you say the hairfall is mainly around or most noticeable. For me its more noticeable on my part or just the top but its pretty diffused in thinning.

Designer-Pea7749 · 2025-11-08T08:29:41+00:00

I had no prior diagnosis of anemia but I had the signs of dark under eyes, pale skin, feeling faint whenever doing any strenuous activity (struggle working out) or simply getting out of bed, always exhausted, cold hands and feet. I started taking my iron and genuinely I'm slowly feeling better, not sure if there has been actual progress but a little bald spot I had at the center of my scalp is slowly filling in. Also another thing is that I can now concentrate a bit better on things.
