Cfs and iron deficiency symptoms a close match

[Raba]

Gut malabsorption can cause iron deficiency.
Symptoms are uncanny similar.
Careful with too much iron too.

I wonder if a blood t test hat is normal can hide intra cellular or organ iron depletion.

It matches the low oxygen in the brain discussions.

Also I used to live at 14000 ft over the sea level.

When returning home to high altitude, the feeling you get when doing minor exertion is almost identical to the one I get with CFS at sea kevel.

Dr. John Whiting has the same findings I think. I believe he's able to track fatigue using ferritin levels if I have it right. As I remember, though, it's quite a complex subject...

I am going to supplement 27 mg per day. 1.5 times RDA. Nothing drastic. See what happens...

Mi iron levels are in mid range. So have some leeway.

Postural tachycardia and low ferritin

very informative. Just found out my girl's ferritin is 19 in a range of 6.4 to 137.6. You can have good Iron but low ferritin, I think.
