Hi, I Have Multiple Diagnoses Including Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, IBS
Hi,
I have multiple diagnoses including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, IBS etc. I consistently have low ferritin levels (5 and under) regardless of taking iron supplements, Vit B, C, and D. I am exhausted to the point of not being able to function most days. Since my iron levels do not increase with supplementation I am wondering what type of specialist I should seek help from next. I don't know if I should see a hematologist for a blood disorder or a gastroenterologist for an absorption problem? Any assistance would be helpful.
