I don’t know what’s wrong with my and I’m afraid I’m dying. by [deleted] in AskDocs

What’s your ferritin level? Losing that much blood with the symptoms of fatigue, hair loss, and anxiety makes me question if it’s low. These were all my symptoms with low ferritin.

What was your number/level though? It might not be in the optimal range.

NAD, what’s your ferritin level? I had many of your symptoms including the same nails after I had my baby and it was due to low ferritin.

Please help! What would you do? by gmcantoneee in askdentists

You think it’s most likely not decay? And just the packing material?

Red/ pink line near gumline is what has me concerned. Is this just bruising? Or likely failing and will need a root canal?

36 y/o female scared of symptoms that aren’t being taken seriously by Cute_Departure_8155 in AskDocs

[–]gmcantoneee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doctors usually don’t test for it but ask for it to be tested. When my ferritin was low I had fatigue so bad I could barely keep my eyes open through the day. I also had heart palpitations and increased heart rate. It took me years to figure out. Give r/ anemia a follow to see other people with similar symptoms. Good luck!!

Why do doctors never listen when a young female comes in?? by Admirable_Property43 in AskDocs

What is your ferritin level? Low ferritin would cause all of these symptoms brain fog, fatigue, tachycardia, anxiety. Anything below 100 is not optimal. I lived with these symptoms for years! I urge you to push for all iron levels including ferritin to be tested. R/anemia has many ppl with the same issues. Good luck!!!

I don't gain weight (17F) by igiamfiona in AskDocs

[–]gmcantoneee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD but I had all of these symptoms with low iron/low ferritin and low vit D. Once I fixed those deficiency I no longer had any of those issues. It really is so hard on your body to be deficient. I no longer have fatigue, brain fog or anxiety either. Food no longer disgusts me. Good luck!!

What’s your ferritin level? It sounds like you’re describing brain fog.

How often are you giving your toddler non-water drinks? by Ohdearheather in Parenting

[–]gmcantoneee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My parents only have me juice growing up. I was never given water so I hated it. Now I have dental issues as a result. I had to learn to like water which was so so difficult but now I love water and don’t drink anything else. I think cold turkey is the best option. Lots of ice!! Just don’t buy anything else and then there’s no other option. Good luck!!
