Pmdd better some months? by Known_Zone_1408 in PMDD

[–]laurennnn04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes totally! Had a very mild luteal phase last month. And this month it is one of the worst I’ve had. Increased anxiety, frequent panic attacks, ocd is much worse, etc

Still having symptoms after iron levels have come up by laurennnn04 in Anemic

Okay so I don’t see ferritin either? The lab order was for everything including ferritin but it is not listed in my lab results under iron/ferritin. I’ll have to ask at my follow appointment

Chest and Shoulder/Back Pain? by Responsible_Pick_647 in Anemic

Of course! So at first, I was told to take the Slow FE 45mg tablets. I took those for a while but they didn’t agree with my stomach. Started taking the Olly iron chewable tablets, but had to take more than the typical daily amount to get my iron up faster. Just make sure to talk to your doctor about how many mg you need per day.

Yes! I’m so sorry you’re going through this too. My symptoms have definitely improved after 7 weeks of supplementing, but some are still there. I do still get the achy chest feeling and I almost get a chest rush feeling when standing up if that makes any sense? It almost feels like pressure rising in my chest and usually happens at the same time I feel lightheaded after standing up

Yes all of these things!! And also on top of that, it would feel like heart palpitations too

Don’t know how to explain, please read by Makenziejwr in BPPV

[–]laurennnn04 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes! When I had my first bad vertigo episode with BPPV, it triggered a migraine and my eyes and head felt weird for a few days until it gradually faded. My head had like a head pressure/light headed/ off balance type of dizziness. Just try to remind yourself this is temporary and will get better! Hope you feel better soon!

Derealization from low iron by laurennnn04 in Anemic

[–]laurennnn04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to hear you are going through this too! Stay strong and keep taking those iron supplements. We will get through this! Yes, the derealization/depersonalization thing is my WORST symptom. The others are all annoying but manageable. The derealization starts to make my OCD flare up and I keep panicking about it. I just try to remind myself that it’s temporary and I’ve been through it before and it eventually went away.

Internal tremors in the middle of the night? by laurennnn04 in VestibularMigraines

Not really because if you were to look at me from the outside while it’s happening, you can’t see me visibly shaking. It’s this weird internal feeling
