Have you had your iron levels checked? Because I had mine checked a year ago after feeling the worst I've felt in years, could barely walk without feeling exhausted.

Turns out my ferritin levels were crazy low.

I have my bloods done regularly. Nothing gets dedicted.

I don’t know if iron is in that kind of blood test or not. I have to have regular bloods too and it never showed in mine- or was never told to me- but when I was veggie, I went through a period of feeling awful and couldn’t put my finger on it. Just low grade grim endlessly, exhausted, lacking focus. A veggie friend asked if I was getting enough iron and, though I was eating healthy, I clearly wasn’t- started taking a supplement and almost overnight I was fine again.

Also, hot magnesium chat, it’s one of the few things that usually isn’t covered fully in multivitamin style supplements. That and calcium. I didn’t notice until it became a big THING everywhere.

So when mine came back, the doctor said my levels were "a bit low" and didn't need anything doing.

When I looked into it further and went to a private health advisor, it turns out they were crazy low, but based on what the general levels doctors go by it wasn't bad. Everyone is different tho. I'd ask for a copy of iron/ferritin results and see.

It's shocking how bad low iron can make you feel
