I know a lot of questions come up regarding low iron levels but none seem to relate to my problem so fingers crossed somebody can relate.
Recent blood tests have shown I have extremely low iron levels (level 7) and I have been told to start taking ferrous fumerate immediately. However, I feel ABSOLUTELY FINE! Is this even possible? I mean yes, I get a bit tired, but who doesn't with a full time job, two kids and a house to look after? But it's not debilitating and I always usually have the energy to go for a run. With levels as low as that I would have assumed I'd be feeling awful, but I really don't. Dr is a bit concerned but it's hard for me to get my head around when I don't feel unwell.
Dr assumes it is period related and I've been given the option of the pill or mirena coil, neither of which really appeal, so I don't really know what to think or what to do. I wouldn't say I particularly have heavy periods, but then how do you define heavy?
I'm just really shocked at this result and wondering if anyone else has had low iron levels but felt well?
