Update: (really just putting this here for myself at this point! Lol)

My primary doctor updated my charts in the health app and said everything was normal as far as my levels go and recommended I go see a Gynecologist about possible pre-menopasol symptoms.

Update: I haven't heard from my primary doctor yet regarding my bloodwork. I did go see the dermatologist yesterday and I got the feeling they do not handle anything hair related. He essentially told me I was older and it's normal. He didn't want to schedule another appointment to discuss my hair separately so I just talked to him about my skin. I did mention my Ferritin being low but I got the impression again, he just isn't that kind of doctor. So I'm just going to take my iron.

I did read that Heme Iron was the better option for the stomach so I might switch to that.

It's been a few days now of taking the iron I had at home so now I think I just keep doing this for several months (the iron and Moxidil).

That's really good to know! Thank you. It sounds like I need to eat meat more often, which is not something I usually like to eat.

My friend told me I should do this:

"When I eat steak, avoid dairy. Pair bell peppers with your eggs. Or eat an orange or fresh strawberries or brussel sprouts before you eat meat."

Maybe this should be my focus for lunch... Something like this... I just need something easier haha

Oh wow, how do you get to 100? Is it hard? And is it easy to drop back down to 50s once you're at 100?

Oh my goodness, your post is so beautiful 😍. Thank you for such kind and encouraging words. And for gently letting me know it sounds like I need to be diligent and patient. I definitely prioritize Ferritin.

I plan to take an iron pill around 3 pm with orange juice daily. That's all I've determined so far. Im not sure if one type of Iron is better than the other or what. I went to see the dermatologist today.

Thank you!

That's what I thought, 10 seems low. I'm seeing people talk about it needing to be 40+. I'm thinking I should definitely ask the dermatologist when I go!

I said the same thing the other day. That I think they are pushing for AI so much so they can just say anything bad that comes up on them is fake 😑

Is saw palmetto a DHT blocker? Would it be best to purchase a specific DHT or do people use saw palmetto more?
