Thinking of going back on Sertraline but my partner makes it seem like i’m being weak or lazy
I went to the docs thinking I was dying and blood tests showed my
iron
levels were really low at 10.. was told if they drop to 7 I would need a transfusion so had to start on
iron
tablets asap and I stopped with the gym.

Help with test results - haemochromatosis with iron deficiency?
A few years ago I had blood tests which showed high
iron
levels so my doc suspected Haemochromatosis. I had the genetic testing which showed I had the gene mutation. I used to get blood drawn to treat it and bring down my
iron
levels.

Iron every or ever other night?
I'm loathe to increase my
iron
too much, I hate the way it messes up my guts, but I'm now considering taking it every night rather than every other night.I've been taking 280mg
iron
fumarate with Spatone
iron
solution (5mg). Any thoughts?

My anxiety is stopping me from doing something that will help me. How do I power on through this?
I have chronically low
iron
, my Dr has prescribed a hormonal pill and an
iron
transfusion. Two things that terrify me for different reasons. I want to be able to go with the flow, but I can’t. I’ve asked about alternatives, this is my only option left. I’ve used my alternatives already.

At my wits end 😢
I can't take
iron
as my body rejects it and my blood count seems to just be okay even though I'm bleeding every day. Anybody have a similar story to mine? Any help, thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated ❤️

High ferritin results
My thyroid doctor has asked me to get a full
iron
panel with my GP, which I will do. One of the possible causes of the high ferritin is being overmedicated on thyroid hormone. I don't feel over-medicated.
