@dr.victoriavmd: #stitch with @Karin - Hormone Health Coach As a blood and iron disorder specialist I see a lot of women with severe iron deficiency- and it’s amazing how much better they can feel- and look!- when iron deficiency is fixed! If you not looking or feeling as good as you once did get your labs checked ! #iron #lowiron #hematology #doctorsoftiktok

So what if my iron is ok. Cause I got DARK under eye, losing my hair, exhausted, and extra pale these days. The corners of my lips crack all the time. Chopped it up to peri-menopause.

I have high TIBC, but low iron saturation and my ferritin is a 6. My iron levels were 54 but he still told me to take an iron supplement? Will an iron supplement help my ferritin?

Ferritin is 3, iron is 14, platelets are high. Should I push for iron transfusion or just oral?

Mine has been low for YEARS and my doctor always says it’s fine 😩 I’m so exhausted. I’m about to change doctors honestly. I need someone who understands that 16-24 is NOT okay. I feel like I’m dying every day and I’ve told him for 4 years now.
