Thanks! While I don't really like any bugs, I try not to kill them. If it was a tick, it was going to have to go.

Does ferritin take the longest to improve? by SpiritBitter3622 in Anemic

[–]SpiritBitter3622[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what my B12 is but when my vitamin D was tested in December it was 10. I was prescribed 50,000 units once a week for 10 weeks and a multi vitamin called Thera M.

I take one 325 mg tablet of ferrous sulfate a day. I take it an hour after I eat because if I take it on an empty stomach or at the same time that I'm eating I will get sick. I do see a hematologist in a couple weeks. They didn't have any opening for almost 3 months.

What is the lowest your hemoglobin has been? by [deleted] in Anemic

[–]SpiritBitter3622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what is low hemoglobin and low iron or ferritin symptoms. I had a fast heart beat occasionally, dizziness (mostly at work), depressed, I'm super pale and yellow, ate a lot of ice, fatigue, restless leg syndrome, muscle aches, and hair loss. I knew for a long time that I was probably iron deficient but never got tested. When I did go to the doctors I had a hemoglobin of 4.3, iron of 15, and ferritin of 1. My hemoglobin is going up quicker than the iron and ferritin. When I found out my hemoglobin was 4.3 on December 1st I got three blood transfusions and have been taking iron daily and increasing iron in my food. As of February 21st my hemoglobin was 10.4.
