My ferritin is 3, I am so short of breath, seeing doctor this week.

[@iepurasul19]

What did they decide? Are you better?

[@gma904]

Thank for the advice, especially of getting my numbers from the Dr. I noticed she's very general with me as well if I don't ask for specifics. Glad your pregnancy is going well. ❤️❤️

[@thedonofbgfmakoflatty172]

Happy belated congratulations on the baby! On a Side note: When I realize enough was enough with my GP/kaiser and the mentality of try another prescription.. Videos from you, and a few others have helped me understand my health by leaps and bounds...thank you

[@sabrina12sabrina96]

Hi love your videos! I’ve recently been diagnosed with pretty severe anemia my ferritin levels are at 4. So I’ve been experiencing quite a bit of the symptoms and for a while I didn’t understand what was going on until my diagnoses and I did some research and watched one of your videos on the symptoms and it really made sense.

[@explore_with_sagan9596]

Hi, how are you now? Have your symptoms gone?

[@stephanieosadchuk9680]

Wow! That's incredible! I've been eating iron-rich foods, and taking 150mg iron supplements on an empty stomach, at night, with orange juice. In 3 months, I've only managed to raise my ferritin from "undetectable" to 3.

[@carda5967]

STEPHANIE Osadchuk your body cant absorb iron without whole vit c. Get in 500 mg 3 or 4 times a day and your iron will increase.

[@stephanieosadchuk9680]

carda5967 Thank you. My doctor has me taking the one 150mg at night with orange juice. She suggested FeraMAX, but I bought the generic brand from Costco. It's frustrating because I'm gaining weight (she recommended that I not work out until my iron comes up).

[@katpisces]

Hi Stephanie I highly recommend trying the Ironsmart and Hemoplex together the Hemoplex contains vitamin C for easy absorption and Ironsmart is a miracle I'm telling you! :)

[@poolahpot]

STEPHANIE Osadchuk Also, try LIPOSOMAL vitamin C. (it’s as good or better than intravenous vitamin c!)

[@poolahpot]

TheHappyLifestyle Why did you stop taking garden of life iron???

[@EikeKiska]

Hi from Germany! Have you tried the Iron from Global Healing? I wish you all the best 🙏🏻

[@beck3498]

Oh my goodness I’m totally going to give iron smart a try! I’m struggling with severely low iron levels and the supplement my doctor prescribed keeps giving me horrid stomach cramps. On top of that, he said it would take 6 months to a year to get my iron levels to a good range! I feel so defeated by that statement alone that I don’t even want to continue this supplement that I’m on.

[@katpisces]

Let us know how it goes! :)

[@explore_with_sagan9596]

Hi, how are you now?

[@beck3498]

@@explore_with_sagan9596 Hey! I took iron smart for about a year and a half, totally got my iron up to where it needed to. I took a spoon full every night with my vitamins and it wasn’t too bad of a taste! I was having a lot of troubles with my iron levels back then, but I’m glad now that I can say they’ve gone back to normal! I try to eat more dark greens and red meats to get natural forms of iron, but I no longer need to take iron smart!

[@alisasjsjs3075]

This makes me feel better I have been a bit worried about this.. I just found out a few days ago that I have low iron. Im taking palafer liquid .. Second day on it and i havent really had any issues. My iron has always been good .. I have been vegan for 6 years and I have never had any issues .. Half the time i didnt even take supplements i just ate proper food. I take a really high quality vegan prenatal and an omega 3 supplement..my bloodwork has been perfect so far but now i am 27 weeks. My doctor reassured me that this is an issue for a lot of woman so that made me feel better too . I just dont feel like being picked on by family because of my diet -.- baby does take so much nutrients you are so right ! Thank you for this video !

[@Joyfulminimalist]

Thank you..! Many pill iron supplements don't agree with me, but I'll try hemaplex and Lorna's iron. I've struggled with on and off anemia for 20 years (not many questions answered either) and have done what i could getting a very low gentle iron dose in my garden of life raw prenatal. We will be ttc starting next month though, so thanks for your suggestions. I do see a hematologist.

[@mariapope7162]

Maybe cosider black strap molasses, beets, power greens with orange juice and chlorella w oj

[@blancarobles9726]

Wow, you are still low!, optimal level is 90 for woman. My ferritin level is 45 and loosing lots of hair so I have to rise my level to 60 to stop the hair fall and then 85 for regrow.

[@cokerainbows]

same, have serious hair loss, pale skin, pale lips, really thin eyebrows, out of breath, severe fatigue, been like this for years and thought it was just because of thyroid/scleroderma...no, its iron issues :(

[@tyrannasparx]

I am at 6.6. I have loads of energy however huge issue of hair loss and literal yellow skin.

[@coolkid-xc1yi]

@@tyrannasparx if you have yellow skin, you might aant yo order mire tests and see if you have thalassemia minor.

[@macclift9956]

We usually crave iron-rich foods when we need iron, especially during pregnancy. It is possible that the body isn't storing what it doesn't need.

[@Ella-cj3px]

Last month I donated blood and it went all fine, but later I found out my ferritin is really low! Can blood donation lower ferritin that much? (even when it was already low)

[@goffer6441]

Megafood bloodbuilder is my choice

[@Tacobell2000]

A great video...and how is the baby doing? Is he a big strong baby? I kind of knew you were a vegetarian because most anemics are vegetarians. There is very little iron in vegetables. There is plenty of iron in chicken, meat and fish. Do you toke a selenium supplement?

[@Aesthetic_leen]

I'm having chest pains and nerve pain since 2 months. I was absolutely fine and when one day started having chest pain... It scares me a lot... I have done my ECG echocardiogram endoscopy and what not... Doctor said my heart was fine.... All the doctors are saying that I have in society and anxiety is causing me e these weird pains all over my body and specially my chest pain.. somewhat I was not ready to believe them... I I'm having extremely dry lips... It's sometimes even bleed when the skin comes off, kind of dry skin. And people tell me that I looked very unwell... I got my vitamin test done.... And my vitamin d level is 12.... Dr never asked me for a bit test but can my chest pain and other pain all around my body and specially my wrist and my feet can be a sign of vitamin d deficiency... Can vitamin d deficiency at a level of 12 be so severe Also I have had breathing issues now a days... Strange tightness in the body. ... Lump in the throat feeling... And upset stomach... And I'm also having lump in the throat feeling.. can dis be due to vit d or calcium deficiency or iron or potassium bdeficiency? I have done my B12 test also which are normal.... Last month I had my ovarian cyst surgery for which my CBC was done but it was also normal... For now I have sent my samples for iron testing

[@eliselawless5410]

I’m starting to have chest pain and shortness of breath and wasn’t a problem before but I did have chest pain once after a exercise session but I thought it was just running from a step hill but I think I was experiencing start of anemia

[@daisychain914]

Ferritin fluctuates throughout the day. You can be a 20 in the morning say and a 6 in the evening. People don’t know this, just do a google to see. Wild fluctuations don’t happen though so if you test 100 you know you’ve got plenty of iron.

[@iepurasul19]

My ferritin is 22, CBC low buttom normal. Pregnant. I have abnormal heart beats. My dr is saying values are normal.

[@tejci]

Thank you for information

[@lunam7249]

Vitamins and minerals, 2x the rda levels. Eat cooked meat. Iron tablets

[@JayMoon_]

My iron levels were at 5 three weeks ago. I just had my second infusion yesterday. One more to go. Would this be good to maintain levels without infusions?

[@katpisces]

You can give it a try and see the before and after numbers/levels and see how your body reacts! :)

[@patriciafricker5926]

Sol y Luna omg I wish I could get transfusion my ferritin is at 3 right now

[@noname-yw2gw]

which iron, ferritin?

[@maguifreitas]

Can iron deficiency anemia cause tingling sensations?

[@Skybluewindcool]

Yes also take B12 with iron

[@MsChelCD]

Will those 2 iron supplements be better than just the regular iron tablet they prescribe. My Dr has me on a 300 mg once a day but I just started to take it. Not sure how long it will take to change my levels

[@patriceh8444]

Mine is 2 to 8

[@rses916]

@@zoeykitty1633 thanks. Mine is 39 but I'm losing hair and my edges too. I'm gonna see my Dr with the results but I know he's gonna say it's fine because not anemia 🙄. I'll self iron myself then.
