@s3essentials: Being told your ferritin is “normal” but you still feel exhausted every single day isn’t talked about enough… 🫠 #ferritin #lowiron #womenshealth #healthtok #chronicfatigue

Anyone else have crazy iron/b12 deficiency regardless of how much meat/high iron veggies/fruit you eat?

🤡Jess🤡 :

‘You got vitamin d deficiency’ *takes vitamin d supplements from drs* STILL BLOODY FATIGUED

Doc : You are fiine Me :

Mrs_dawkins2017 :

I'm 'normal' with a Ferratin of 8

loz :

I swear we weren’t meant for the ‘life’ we are currently living

udontknowme :

I've received my medical records, including blood tests. I've found that when doctors say normal, they neglect to mention elevation or deficiency of various metals/proteins/etc, even when they're outside of normal range. and I don't mean a little

livmakesnoise🇳🇿 :

“Normal” 👏 doesn’t 👏 mean 👏 “Functional” 👏

Shadowboxer :

NHS will always wait until an emergency happens to action. There’s no prevention culture.

jezzie :

suffer with fatigue heart palpitations back pain and gut issues 😍 but blood work came back normal so it’s “stress” 🥰

KateYeva :

Did you try paracetamol?

kdkdkd :

My GP has refused to give me copies of my full medical records.🥺

𝖭𝖸𝖱𝖠🕷️🌙 :

is crazy how little doctors care..

Charl :

Normal is ‘NHS normal range’ aka not an urgent intervention requirement so ask for a copy of them and research yourself

nardoqan :

these normal values are for men ! i really wonder when they really study women's body. my doctor told me same thing I did not listen I directly went to buy ferritin and vitamin d after 10 day I started to feel better . I couldn't take stairs in my home

Carla ⚜️ :

Vitamin D deficiency can be a reason for low energy/feeling sad and it’s not tested on regular blood tests unless you ask. Same for cortisol.

Keggit :

Stress at work and then stressing about work at home just to do it all again tomorrow. Stressing about emails, people’s attitudes, pointless stuff making us tired and drained

It'same :

Always ask for a paper copy/electronic copy of your results!. My doctor marked one result as "normal no action", but when I checked I was very deficient!.

Feeling this, I’m ‘normal’ with ferritin at 26 but can’t stay awake without a lunchtime nap. 🤷🏻‍♀️

CharlotteXo :

Alys ✟ :

Marilenaa :
