Hey everyone!
2 years later and I'm still sick. Most of my issues at first were very much CFS/ME with fatigue so bad I couldn't stand up in a shower etc.
I have gotten much better over the past year to where I can play basketball... but other symptoms have gotten worse.
I just have a general feeling of being sick, mostly in my head. Neck is slightly stiff and brain fog is tremendous.
Early on I tested low ferritin. I received high dose IV iron but it didn't even make a change. I got it again, no result.
Does anyone have any ideas related to what organisms can make me feel sick and use iron in their metabolism? Or maybe could my body be sequestering Iron to reduce inflammation? But Ferritin is an acute phase protein, so it should go up if my issues were from inflammation.
I don't have any bleeding that I know of and tested negative for all parasites.
