I’m not iron deficient
I’m anaemic.
Which accounts for my extremely low energy and lethargy. Doc has given me a referral to see a gastroenterologist and a different (chelated) iron supplement.
I cant get in to see the specialist until January, but if I’m not feeling significantly better in a month, well do some further investigations.
I am also going to do spirometry next week and do a proper asthma plan, and possibly see a specialist for that too. Possibly we’ll be able to manage my asthma without daily steroids. And I think that is worth looking in to.
So thanks everyone for your gp suggestions – I now feel like I am on the right track!

Ah, irony.

I hope they find the cause soon and that the cause is not serious.
What iron supplement have they put you on?
