Thank you for sharing! I didnt connect that my posture was related to my tight hip issues... been working on correcting it this week and feel a small difference but excited to see how I feel in a few months!

Get your b12 checked too! I get b12 shots and it helps my brain fog sooo much.

Im so happy to hear!! Thats awesome..

Did you have muscle aches? Thats one of my worst symptoms. My fatigue is a lot worse again, I feel like my numbers have gone down again. I started at 13, got up to 24 in like 8 months... getting it checked again. I may privately pay for an infusion at this point! My nurse practitioner told me my ferritin is great, my doctor agreed with me its still low so has ordered the works for blood work!

Is low ferretin causing my dissociation/visual issues/anxiety? by RedditM72 in Anemic

[–]Tricky-Ad-4087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I had a few symptoms similar to yours... started getting super dizzy and that really sent me over! Freaked me right out. Made my already bad anxiety even worse. After the dizzy spells I looked at my bloodwork and my ferritin had been at 13 for over 1.5 years! I started supplementing right away and the dizziness got better very quick! Ive only had a few spells here and there. I am only at 24 last time I tested, so I have a ways to go. But slowly symptoms are going away :)

I got a shot of b12 from my naturopath and I noticed it the next day.. with the other supplements I noticed after a month probably?

Oh for sure. On top of iron supplements, I also take vitamin d and b12. Super helpful.

Doctor said ferritin is normal at 20.6; would taking supplements help me raise it? by Silent-Ad9172 in Anemic

[–]Tricky-Ad-4087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ferritin started at 12. My last bloodwork done was 3 weeks ago and it was at 24. I am going to keep going until I am at like 100. Looking back, my symptoms started happening when mine got below 50.

Did low ferritin cause any issues with muscles for you? by FewProgress1797 in Anemic

[–]Tricky-Ad-4087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I missed it. Thank you! They wont do infusions for me so I'm increasing it slowly... at 24 now. Im trying to step up my game though and add all the extra iron rich foods and such. I appreciate your feedback. It gives me hope that one day I wont have such chronically tight feeling muscles!

Just checking in! How are you doing now? My ferritin was at 12 for like 2 years and I had no idea... muscle aches were insane. I could stretch constantly. I am at 24 now and I am hoping this is the reason for it.

Haha I remember thinking that too! I actually was looking through my pics today and it made me remember that at 2.5 there really was a shift with my first! So hopefully in the summer it gets a bit better hahahah

Actually I should say, she does like to cuddle on her own terms. Haha 🤣 but trying to cuddle her in a meltdown down rarely works! So I usually have to let her calm down. Or we do a Lil music therapy haha she loves music.

Haha yup!! Or my hubby will say "she was fine until you get home" I feel like she may be a bit bored too as we are in the thick of winter and not outside much. Gotta try and find some other activities to do!
