What kind of symptoms does this cause??

And is a low level common with thyroid problems?

Fatigue, pallor, breathlessness, hair loss and yes, this is heavily connected with thyroid problems.

Tell us more?

Thank you.

I'm being watched for a probable case of hashimoto thyroiditis see endo again next week for latest lab results.

My gp ran tests all ok except the feritin
I feel tierd no motivation unbalanced constipated weak. I have bad spasms in my neck and vibrations in different areas.

My hair is so dry and I can't even touch it without a few strands coming away.. Never had that before

I feel not with it, just wanted to know how much of this could be the feritin?
