Mum used to eat lost of life with low iron
Ice. They canāt stop eating ice
My surgeon put me on iron plus vit c. My restless legs went away. I had a ridged fingernail my family dr wouldnāt even look at. Had several other symptoms too.
How is splenomegaly diagnosed
I've been obsessed with ice š§ since high school. I went to the doctor after years, and they said I had a ferritin level of 1… I have dry/itchy skin, mouth sores, racing heart, etc… š¢
My hair was coming out more than normal and chronic itching between my shoulder blades ,weakness and breathlessness . Iāve had anaemia before and couldnāt handle the iron tablets my GP prescribed so put my self on a reputable gentle iron and now feeling much better.
Omg! I have every single symptom except spoon nails and never had sores in mouth. But my nails are rigid, and brake chip easy, my skin is very dry, lots of hair in brush, no cracks in lips but more the 50% of symptoms! So what iron supplement to get? Besides meat and leafy greens?
I love your work. š Thank you! ššæššæ
I crave clay
Thank youā¤ i have been having these symptoms for 6 to 8 months especially the throat sores
I found out whilst pregnant, that my body doesn't store iron, so I have to take a liquid supplement.
You forgot heart racing and issues with breathing. Rest is quoted
3:53 longitudinal ridging on the nail
6:37 leg cramps
8:54 easily irritated
My sister had severe iron deficiency, sheās had problems with her iron levels from the age of 17 (sheās now 29) but in the last few years it worsened she experienced tiredness and often felt faint and would pass out as a result. Two iron infusions later and sheās starting to feel better though still tired but not as much as before
Thank you . Very helpful
Fun fact: pagophagia is Greek for "frost eater" Pagos–frost, phagia–to eat! š
Wow I always like carrots, but been eating a lb week an then now I want celery I have low iron an low sodium
ā¤ā¤
Excellent,
thank you !!
I have all these symptoms!
Thanks for your time, it answered a few questions, š
Thank you for sharing this awesome educational video I really appreciate it ā¤
Mouth? šššseriously mouth MOUTH
My pagophagia presented as chewing/crunching on Altoids breath mints! I would shove almost an entire tin of altoids in my mouth and crunch on them, I was going through a tin or more a day. Until I got so out of breath and lightheaded, I passed out, hit my head and ended up in the emergency room where I got a blood transfusion to get my numbers up from a very low 5 to into the normal range of 11-15.
This was super helpful!
Is globus sensation a symptom of iron deficiency anaemia???? Also i have upper thigh cramps , palpitations, high pulse rate and severe anxiety
Thank you. I'm going to start taking my medicine like I'm suppose to.
It was guilty please to me in the childhood to steal meat from freezer and eat it while itās frozen. Funny how my organism was on the middle way between ice craving and actually eating more meat to receive iron š
Thankyou so much
B1 will mimic this.
Three years I had a SEVERE ice addiction. I went to several doctors. Eventually several dental visits (cracked my teeth from the ice). Finally, a doctor figured it out. Two days after iron supplementation and my ice addiction was gone. Thatās all it took.
That was the best video I have ever seen!!!!! Thank uā¤
Thank you! Never knew all those things can happen! And it seems that I have had a good 80 percent of everything u mention!
I have Pica really bad with ice
Whoa! Iāve had 90% of these symptoms over the past year without having any clue that iron was the cause. I donāt have hair loss, at least not noticeable but probably because Iām Native American and it would take a whole lot wrong to start balding lol. That and no mouth sores but I absolutely had angular chelitis a few months back. Just looked at my nails and can see the lines in them and also realized I havenāt had to cut them hardly at all. The most noticeable thing has been the RLS, tiredness, and recently my calves have started feeling cramped for no reason. At first it was just my left and now my right one too.
Iām here because I just got my blood test back from a checkup and my ferritin/transferritin levels were super low. Havenāt heard back from the doc since itās thanksgiving week but got the electronic copy of the results online and Iām taking an iron supplement now.
This is actually really relieving because Iāve been supplementing on all the major vitamins for the past month with no results and never even thought of iron probably because Iām a man and itās just not something I really ever hear any concern about other than for women.
Doing some research, I think it might be due to all the NSAIDās Iāve been taking.
I have iron deficiency anemia. But I have not one symptom related to this. Only found out by a blood test for something else.
After long term Zinc Intake I had Iron Overload/ Disregulation and Anemia. This was because Zinc intake caused a Copper deficiency which caused Iron to malfunction and cause serious health issues which had me ending up in hospital. Zinc supplements cause Anemia and Neutrapenia, grey hair , rapid skin wrinkles, all symptoms reversed within several months after stopping Zinc and taking a Copper supplement..
What about fingernails that are thick, yellow and pitted? What deficiency would that indicate? Or is that just an infection? I have this on two fingernails.
I have been religiously eating frozen strawberries. I was just diagnosed with iron deficiency and vitamin againdeficiency. I was searching to find out more about these issues. And my mind is blown. Because I experience at least 98% of the symptoms for both deficiencies. I was just prescribed medicine & i am praying for relief!! I just want to know what it feels like to feel good again. Its been so long I honestly can't remember what it feels like to wake up in the morning pain free, energetic & looking forward to doing something. This diagnosis gives me hope that with the right meds I may experience that feeling again.
Lol I crazed the ice that form on the top of the older frige's! Would go to people house's that had them, and eat as much ice from the top that I could!
This is the MOST information that I have ever received about low iron! THANK u! I am a senior and back when I was younger I understood my low iron, because women go threw a cycle! But now as a.senior there's none of that! And iron is still low! Dr's NEVER explain the reasons to me,signs or anything else! Thank u again because I have most of every sign that u mention! Symptoms that I never had when I was young!
so i bought iron supplement 65 mg and took them occasionally before bed, didn't realize for quite a while that these were the reason for my severe, and i mean severe leg cramps, both upper and lower legs, let me tell you those upper leg cramps were super scary and i won't touch these pills ever again, also kinda make you wonder about them being in pre-natal pills for pregnant women, last time i had these type of leg cramps was when i was pregnant decades ago, then my baby was put on iron formula and cried all the time
Interesting ! Have koilonychia on 2 fingers of each hand for 15yrs, onychorrhexia for life and wondered other possible causes of those. Anemia runs in family and loved liver as a child(felt better, but it has B vites and mienrals including iron). Some of those symptoms you mention are B12 also ! Lately have high iron but ferritin 34, high TIBC and Dr said Hg good (12.8) so ignore high iron (also high in MCV). a B12 oils website said iron needs B12 to work and B12 needs B2 (which needs minerals). Are there signs or labs to ck better iron status than iron and ferritin? Same with B12(if have antibodies and analyzers use ab than skewed results) Had read that a copper protein carries iron so maybe that is off.
Is iron deficiency anaemia permanent or curable?
Getting random chills ?
Pain in upper thigh?
Spiralina good source of iron
In America when you go to the doctor with these symptoms they try to give you Psych Meds instead of doing detective work. ššš hate it here sometimes.
Very informative. Thanks very much. š
