[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be sure the doctor tests for ferritin in addition to red blood cell count (RBC). I suffered for many years with iron deficiency that was not anemia, and doctors usually only test for anemia and say you're fine if you don't ask specifically for a ferritin test to determine the STORED iron. [/quote] This! I'm a nurse and had a few patients who were tired and their red blood cells were fine, but ferritin/iron levels were low. Also, check Vit D, B12, thyroid levels- very important blood tests.[/quote]
