My health, wellwomen and having an iron infusion.

My health since having a child has been dreadful. Back and forth to the doctors and many chest infections.
Feeling exhausted, irritable and down right shocking.

Since doing my own research after my friend Carrie educated me about ferritin and asked me to get a full print out of my lasts bloods, I've been shocked at what I've learnt.

1 in 3 women suffer with low iron deficiency through their lives. This is separate to low iron deficiency aneamia.

This is a world wide issue where guidelines to ferritin levels are too wide. In East Lancs our NHS guidelines are between 10 to 291.

My ferritin was 8 whilst pregnant and 24 in Nov 2018. This sadly hadn't been picked up and it was down to my friend Carrie in November 2018 that I now know about this.

I'm hoping this iron infusion is going to make me feel alive again and how we should feel, instead of trying to get through each day as quickly as possible, just so i can crawl into my bed.

I'm hoping what I've learnt from Dr Rao, Dr Caitlyn and everyone at The Iron Clinic, I can pass on to you and hopefully help others.

There is an awful lot of information here to take in. Please grab yourself a cuppa, you may need to watch this a few times to take it all in. I know that's how I would be.

If you have any of the symptons I describe please go to your GP and ask for a Full Blood Count including...
- Ferritin
- Trans ferritin saturation
- Serum Iron
It is worth getting your B12 checked aswell.

Ask for a print out of these results. Send them to Dr Caitlyn Scott by email with my name in the subject and a list of your symptons to info@theironclinic.co.uk

Thank you for watching and for your support.
