Ferritin is 7, what can I do?
I’ve not been able to absorb iron for many years and have had many iron infusions over the years. Last month, I got my iron level checked and my ferritin was 11. I was told to go on a iron supplement then get tested in a months time. Even after taking iron supplementation, my ferritin has dropped to 7.
It’s clear I can not absorb iron. My Dr is always hesitant about giving me iron infusions, and finally said I can get one.
So frustrating, is there any other way for this to be cured??? Does anyone have any positive stories.
My symptoms - chronic fatigue, brain fog, memory fog, head pressure, heart palpitations, anxiety, short breathes etc.
I also don’t have anaemia.
