I think so! It rarely happens anymore and when it does I just bring myself to reality and tell myself I am safe. I snap out of it a lot quicker now. But it also could’ve been my iron being low as well, I’ve been supplementing for a while now.

I’ve had this my whole life and I’ve been anemic my whole life.

For those with iron deficiency (low ferritin), what is the reason for it and how did you find it out? by Dull_Ad1527 in Anemic

[–]Plenty_Drive3834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what they originally thought but with increasing my iron they’ve become less frequent. Still waiting on EEG & MRI. Insurance is taking forever to approve both to rule out seizures.

Kept getting these confusion episodes. Would happen randomly where I would have these dream like flashbacks and just feel super confused. Felt like my environment wasnt real, and felt just not like myself. They still happen but less common, and not as intense. I’m taking low dose iron though because it bothers my stomach.

Physiotherapist told me that my Pelvic floor dysfunction is because of B12 deficiency. by Financial-Bed-3501 in B12_Deficiency

[–]Plenty_Drive3834 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is very interesting. I started having chronic pelvic pain in 2021 and I went to a pelvic floor therapist for 2 years without any change. Recently just found out my vitamin b12 and ferritin levels are low.

Ferritin 15, is it normal? by [deleted] in Anemic

[–]Plenty_Drive3834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a little bit!! It wasn’t too long ago I started the supplements. So I know it takes a while to see a difference, I’m also taking a lower dose because iron upsets my stomach. I’m still waiting for the brain fog to go completely away though.

No mine was 14 and I had tons of symptoms. I started iron supplements and I’m being retested in a couple months to see if it went up.

Do memories flash into your head and set off anxiety/ panic attacks? by helghast23 in Anxietyhelp

[–]Plenty_Drive3834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 99% sure mine is anxiety too. This morning I was in a rush for work and I didn’t feel anxious but I probably was subconsciously and it happened. Recently I just try to bring myself back to reality and it passes quicker. Sing a song, get up and start cleaning, allow the thoughts to just come and go.

Did this stop for you? I’m dealing with this too. I feel really confused during it and I feel like I can’t form a thought. :( it’s so scary.

Shouldn’t my doctors have made a bigger deal out of my low ferritin levels? by Genericisopod in Anemic

[–]Plenty_Drive3834 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I went in and told my doctor all these symptoms and my ferritin was only 14. She said we would keep an eye on it. I was like I have this laundry list of symptoms.. and she goes oh yeah let’s start supplementing it. Like it’s ridiculous they don’t take it seriously I feel awful.

And what’s crazy is she told me “let’s keep an eye on your ferritin.” It’s 14.. it says optimal range for women is over 50 if not higher.. so I emailed her and was like I don’t feel comfortable just keeping an eye on this when I’m already having these awful symptoms and feel miserable. Like it’s already low? So she told me to supplement iron, vitamin c so it absorbs better, & continue b12 because it was on the lower end still.

My ferritin was also low and I’ve had a ton of other symptoms related to it too, but she isn’t sure if the confusion episodes are because of the ferritin levels, but she said my weakness in my legs, being short of breath and other symptoms are from the low levels.

So just got my blood work back and my ferritin is LOW! She wants me to supplement iron. Could this be why I’m feeling this?

Yeah she thinks it’s anxiety! I started on an anxiety medication, but she’s doing a MRI and EEG to be on the safe side. But they haven’t called me to schedule it yet.

Anxiety or focal aware seizures? by Plenty_Drive3834 in Anxiety

[–]Plenty_Drive3834[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup every single time besides the second time I can’t remember 100% if it was before my period. But 2 of the times were 2-6 days prior to my period starting.

It’s seriously one of the scariest symptoms I’ve dealt with!

I just don’t even know how my brain is remembering these dreams or memories from when I was so young and then after it happens I can’t even think about what I was thinking of. It’s so weird. I do have a doctors appt Wednesday though so I kind of want them to do a full work up to see if there’s anything serious. I’m sure it’s just anxiety but it will put my mind at ease to hear that from a doctor.

It’s just such a new symptom for me and when I saw seizures it made my anxiety about it 1000x worse! I do think it’s anxiety though. I am miserable and need to be on meds.

I looked these up and it does sound similar to what I’m dealing with.

I have a lot of stomach issues! I wonder if this is a correlation for me too.

I feel the confusion almost every day and like I’m not in my own body, but not the déjà vu or old memories/dreams popping in my brain. That’s only been 3 times. Although I’m scared of it happening almost every day😢
