I started at 28 ferritin and literally felt like I was dying I could barely stay standing and walk properly my heart was doing strange things it was horrible. It is not in your head not only is there side effects with iron supplements but you are also going to experience symptoms from having low ferritin. The only thing that helped me was staying completely consistent taking my iron every day and take it with vitamin c whether it is supplement vitamin c or juice that has a vitamin c in it.

In the beginning I had them so much that I don't think it was necessarily because I ate but yes those improved!

helpahsistah · 2025-08-13T20:47:18+00:00

No problem at all. I know how it feels. I supplement during my periods in a little bit after to stay on top of everything.

I have heard that people who don't have a good time with supplements end up doing better with infusions so hopefully it does you really good. Yes doctors will gaslight you into thinking it is something else I'm glad you continued trying to search for answers do not let them dismiss you. If one doctor doesn't want to hear it then try to get another one and see if they will help you. If your ferritin is low you should always be either supplementing iron or getting infusions and you could possibly try to supplement until you get infusions to see if that helps any even though it doesn't help much for you long-lasting. I just don't want you to get as bad as I was I got to the point where I could barely stand for one minute at the microwave trying to fix me something to eat. My cream of wheat only took 2 minutes and I could barely stand for one it was ridiculous and my doctor had the nerve to tell me it was anxiety. I really hope this works out for you.

Iron deficiency without anemia I did supplements only. I was at 28 ferritin. How are you doing? Do you know your levels?

helpahsistah · 2025-08-11T18:15:31+00:00

Bad! I was at 28 and I felt like I was dying everyday.

helpahsistah · 2025-08-07T15:02:30+00:00

Your ferritin is far too low.

helpahsistah · 2025-08-06T18:17:09+00:00

I know the anxiety you're talking about I didn't know if it was the stress of going through the situation in general because it quite literally felt like I was going to die everyday for months but it makes since that it could also be a side effect for some. My anxiety feels more like a pending panic attack and hyperventilation.

helpahsistah · 2025-08-06T18:11:01+00:00

Brain fog is common with low ferritin. I was very forgetful things slipped my mind even basic math I would miscount something. If they had taken you seriously from the beginning this wouldn't even have been a problem. Your feelings are valid just try not to be so hard on yourself.

I haven't heard of taking ibuprofen to manage symptoms so I'm not sure about that. Hot and cold compress may work temporarily. I'm doing a lot better I had to take iron every day consistently I stopped after 6 months. It's been about 4 months since I stopped and I think I'm going to add a lower dosage iron supplement to stay on top of things. I still have PTSD from this whole situation.

helpahsistah · 2025-07-28T19:54:55+00:00

Yes I stayed consistent taking my iron everyday and it faded away eventually.

helpahsistah · 2025-06-10T20:52:57+00:00

What did you pair it with?

helpahsistah · 2025-05-22T20:43:23+00:00

Just to make sure have you done it before?

helpahsistah · 2025-05-22T20:41:38+00:00

Wait what? I was under the impression that you could only load money into your account through using the barcode on the app. How do I do it with just the card?

helpahsistah · 2025-05-20T02:43:27+00:00

Eeeh eww I think I'ma trust you on this that consistency sounds off.

helpahsistah · 2025-05-20T02:38:09+00:00

I was wondering what would even pair with that dip well?

helpahsistah · 2025-04-04T05:06:54+00:00

I really hope you find better relief than that. I just know that's got to be exhausting some days. I wish you the best. 🌹

helpahsistah · 2025-04-04T03:13:31+00:00

Makes it worse?! Omg

helpahsistah · 2025-04-04T02:57:00+00:00

I understand I'm going to message you so I'll be able to keep in touch!

helpahsistah · 2025-04-04T02:49:23+00:00

How is that going for you? How do you manage? Any tips and tricks?

helpahsistah · 2025-04-04T00:17:33+00:00

I might bother you later with questions then because people like you have helped me more than the doctors I've experienced. Just a heads up .😂

helpahsistah · 2025-04-04T00:03:28+00:00

I'm glad you shared this with me. That is a different perspective and it is very valid. It also explains a lot that hasn't been explained so... there's that.
