I went to a neurologist and I got a sleep study.

And when I got the results, I was floored because I thought I had the answer to why I was so tired.

It was positive for periodic limb movement disorder, where I was having micro arousals up to 75 times an hour.

With, you know, basically no deep sleep at all.

You know, I did some reading about that and found out that it's associated with iron deficiency.

And of course, once I checked my ferritin level, it was very low.

It was 17.

So started iron supplementation orally and did that for about

I'd say three or four months and it just, it didn't budge my ferritin at all.

So I have GERD and I'm on a PPI and I thought, you know, maybe I'm just not absorbing it, you know.

I even tried taking it with vitamin C to enhance absorption and just was not doing anything.

I did decide that I needed to ramp up

what kind of help I was getting.

So I went to the local academic center at the university and saw another sleep neurologist.

And she was like, well, have you done an iron infusion?

And I said, no.

So she did that.

And I, again, thought, this is it.

This is what's going to fix me finally.

And I waited a month after I got the iron infusion before I messaged her and said, I really don't feel any different.
