MODERATORS
I just had full blood work done in August when the fatigue was starting to get very noticable. all levels considered normal.
Did they check ferritin or just how much iron is in your blood?
When I was iron deficient from a medical issue, the initial blood tests showed "normal" iron levels. I had to advocate hard to get a ferritin test, because they weren't convinced that I "needed" it. But lo and behold, the results came back as being incredibly low. Supplementing made me feel much better almost immediately.
