Do any of you Ladies, and gentleman suffer also from low ferritin levels?

My thyroid (overactive) levels are all within the 'normal' range at present , but my ferritin levels are incredibly low

its surprising how similar the symptoms are, are these two conditions linked ?

OMG this is all a mine field ,who know what we should be taking iron ,vit D3 ............

Apparently our ferritin levels is one of the tests we should have but that is not done on the NHS unless we request it and even then not always.

How crazy is that ????

I mean surely at the end of the day IF they do the correct tests AND they begin to get to the root of whats going on for us , long run it would save money????

This site (and others) have been a real eye opener for me , and you know what im not standing for it !!!!!!

Be well
