Iron-Deficiency Anemia Signs & Symptoms (ex. Fatigue, “Spoon Nails”, Cracked Lips)

[@bettydamnboop3030]

Most Doctors will simply diagnose a patient with depression instead of doing blood work to make sure it’s not iron deficiency. Thank you for the video.

[@teaearlgreyhot2143]

A lot of times - not always - depression and anxiety can be attributed to nutrient deficiencies or hormonal imbalance. You're spot on with this comment.

I was just diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia today after getting my blood test results. I'm shocked how many things in this video pinpointed symptoms I wasn't even aware were symptoms. Pica (ice), fatigue, brain fog, headaches, depression, anxiety, increased heart rate at rest, dizziness, restless legs (!!!), cracked lip corners, oral ulcers, cold extremities, reduced appetite. Another symptom not mentioned in the video that may be correlated to my anemia is sudden worsening periodontitis (gum disease). At my last dental appointment the change was pretty alarming but my dental hygiene regime hadn't changed at all and I always had good checkups before the last appointment. So yeah.... accurate!

IDA is something I’ve lived with my entire life (52 /female). I’ve had a pre-anaphylactic ferric allergy since childhood to compound the matter, and cannot take iron supplements. Intense mood disturbances/two psychotic episodes intense fatigue, heart palpitations and many other symptoms was being misdiagnosed by 10 different physicians. I read one of my food journals from years ago when I was doing great and realized it coincides with a diet heavy in beef liver and vitamin C bearing produce meals. Liver cooked in tomato sauce in cast iron skillet, and 72 hours later I’m clear of heart palpitations/ depression/psych symptoms. Wish I’d figured it out sooner.🙏🏼

Research about taking Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2/MK-7 and Magnesium supplements too. The physical problems you listed can, in ADDITION to the iron deficiency, be contributed to deficiencies in Vitamin D3, Magnesium and Vitamin K2. You can request, at least these two blood tests from your doctor (that I know about) - Iron and Vitamin D3. I found out I was severely deficient in Vitamin D3 (another blood test result) and once I started taking Vitamin D3, a LOT of positive health benefits started to happen for me. I, personally, take 15,000 Vitamin D3 daily and (1) Vitamin K2/MK-7 90 mcg daily. I also take (1) Magnesium Malate 425mg X 2times a day. I hope this information helps you in YOUR journey to good health. 😊💖

Until the following year, I got hospitalised after having a bad migraine and throwing up 6 times within 6 hours to the point I started passing out. Doctors thought I had food poisoning or something wrong with my brain so I did an MRI. After, they tested my blood and found out I have extremely low red blood cells, low iron absorption ability and low blood pressure. At that point I was again losing more hair than usual, almost in clumps. Some nights I can barely sleep at all because the room might spin or my heart would beat really fast.

I went to see my GP because I was having difficulty in swallowing. A blood test was taken at approx 11am. Just before midnight, on the same day, I received a telephone call, from a doctor, who advised that I had no blood in my body with a reading of under 7. I was taken, by ambulance, to hospital for a blood transfusion, followed by iron fusion. A further iron fusion was given a week later. After a full body scan, no cause was found. I now take, daily, liquid iron. Also and, this is important to we Brits, who love their tea. Tea, actually blocks the absorption of iron. I arise at 6am to take my iron and have my morning cuppa at 8.30am. Thank you once more.

Thanks for this conversation. I noticed after taking green tea that the pains in my body and legs get worse. pain around my kidneys,liver and spleen too. Dizziness, nausea restlessness eyes hurting etc So I later found out one of the causes of my anemia has been tea. Now many people may take this as a joke but no it isn't. Infact, I lost my dad last year. And you know, though from Nigeria my dad did train in UK as a military officer. One thing he adopted was the love for tea. He became anemic but would not let go of his tea. I know he was anemic because everytime he ate meat his healing came on fast but then he would relapse to his tea.He was also a coffee man.

Always take your bloodwork home so you can look it up yourself. The internet has helped me a lot, since my doctors would tell me I need see a psychologist while he had my iron levels right in front of his face. Look it up yourself. Iron deficiency symptoms can start at a 70ug/dl level. The normal iron level is up to 150 ug/dl.

[@Val-pe1ch]

[@1DarkBlossom]

@@Val-pe1ch Girl, you’re very welcome. Mine were at 18ug/ml. I got another important thing to tell you, so you will recover quickly. High doses of Iron supplements are no joke. You will feel sick at first, almost as your symptoms become worse. Don’t give up taking them, it will go away within the first 2 weeks. Many women stop taking the supplements because they feel already sick and iron will increase it at first. This happens because your body is making huge efforts processing the high iron dosage. But you need the high dosage because our body can only absorb a little part of the iron. So keep taking them, unless you experience allergic symptoms (body redness, pimples, itchy skin and throat). So you take one capsule of 100mg iron with 6mg folate (not folic acid) with the juice of one freshly squeezed lemon and water at an empty stomach two to three times a day. (2 hours before and after your meals). No coffee, no dairy, no soda. I promise, you will feel great again after the first two weeks. Also high dosages of iron lowers the zinc levels in your system. You will have to take vitamin c and zinc supplements after a while. The same way you take the iron (with vitamin c at an empty stomach). I started supplementing vit c and zinc 9 months after starting with the iron supplements and I feel it was a little too late. So take them at maybe 4 months after starting with iron. Zinc also lowers another mineral in our system, but I forgot the name. I am in a learning process as well, because, as you know, no doctor will help. They prescribe ibuprofen, but forget about all the important stuff we need to be healthy. I am really angry about it. So, please, follow the instructions I gave you and enjoy your life. Pass all this information further to help other women suffering. We only have each other. I’ll be happy to hear from you soon. Tell me how you feel, ok? Best regards from Germany.

[@1DarkBlossom]

@@Val-pe1ch Oh and also never stop taking them as long as you have your period. I managed to increase my iron levels from 18ug/ml to 70ug/ml in 6 months. But I had to stop taking iron two weeks before blood work to check the iron levels again. Within those two weeks, I got my period and guess what?

A suggestion: I've READ that taking iron supplements can cause constipation, so it is recommended to take prescribed liquid from of iron supplementation. I was prescribed by my medical doctor "Ferrous Sulfate Elixir" and I didn't experience any constipation from taking it. Then research about taking Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2/MK-7 and Magnesium supplements too. The physical problems you are experiencing, in ADDITION to the possible iron deficiency, could be contributed to deficiencies in Vitamin D3, Magnesium and Vitamin K2. You can request, at least these two blood tests from your doctor (that I know about) - Iron and Vitamin D3. I found out I was severely deficient in Vitamin D3 (another blood test result) and once I started taking Vitamin D3, a LOT of positive health benefits started to happen for me. I, personally, take 15,000 Vitamin D3 daily and (1) Vitamin K2/MK-7 90 mcg daily. I also take (1) Magnesium Malate 425mg X 2times a day. I hope this information helps you in YOUR journey to good health. 😊💖

I should also say that my anemia was most likely cause by an excess of drinking alcohol. When you drink too much it flushes the b12 from your body. If you drink it’s especially important to try replenishing the b12 back into your body. I mean it’s an unhealthy habit all around, but yeah some of us struggle with it anyways.

Yep. Happened to me too. I remember as a young woman (I am 36 now), a physician told me “oh, you’re anemic, but women are always anemic. So don’t worry” and I didn’t thought of it anymore. Many many years later experiencing excruciating symptoms, I got my first covid shot. From there on, I’ve had my period every 2 weeks and of course lower iron levels than ever. My story on this is so long, it pains me just thinking about what I’ve been through with doctors misdiagnosing my symptoms all these years. Also, it’s infuriating for all the women who don’t know how to help themselves or where to start. I’ve been there.
