I remember running into town to donate blood on a hot summer’s day. They declined to take a donation because the blood test showed I was anaemic. I could barely drag myself home. Even though I knew what was happening, meta cognition? it was totally real…..but so was my run to the donation station.
Hi please what symptoms are you having? I didnt know it was so bad to have an complete iron infusion…….You know I tried to listen to you and am just worried cos so many people are motivated by you and doing all these excess egg white diet. And you were saying you were having some funny symptoms but you brushed them away. Could it be the egg whites diet that caused the low iron or what do you think? how can you help people that have no access to iron infusion pleaae?
I HAD EXTREMELY LOW IRON FOR MONTHS BECAUSE I HAD A BACTERIAL OVERGROWTH IN MY SMALL INTESTINE. Doctors, even Gastroenterologists, don't necessarily recognize SIBO or know the proper protocol for it.
I went to THREE GIs and finally diagnosed myself through a Facebook group. By the time I started getting better, I had had one transfusion in which I was given four pints of packed red blood cells. Total blood volume (all types of cells) is only 8 pints, so I am still very impressed with the fact that I walked into the hospital for my transfusion. I literally watched the pink come back into my skin.
SIBO: *S*mall *I*ntestinal *B*acterial *O*vergrowth.
If you’ve had iron infusions…you KNOW the post infusion struggle 💩💩.
I'm happy you got the infusion.
Good luck, you will find the answer, 💕
Nerves nerves nerves.. the unknown is what we fear the most..keep taking care of YOU.. hopefully this treatment will help you..💕
Hope it works for you. Be interesting to see as my wife has a similar issue.
Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
I go August 8th for mine and I would not have known about Ferritin levels or any of this without you making a video about it…cause my doctor sure missed it…I’m forever grateful…
Hi Nili, I hope you find that you start noticing a positive difference before the six weeks, as I did. I truly believe that the iron infusions were the best choice for me. The strangest part for me was that they never were able to pinpoint why mine occurred. Praying for you dear one. 🙏🏻🕯🕊🤍💚
Great! So glad you had your infusion! Yay! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I completely agree about attitudes going into things. I was diagnosed in 2020 with cancer and did my upmost best to stay positive and Keto the entire time. I also felt at peace as I trusted our Lord with my process and procedures as well.
It was a tough road with reconstruction surgery of my mouth and the removal of my fibula for the reconstruction. After radiation and all I'm happy to report I am 1 1/2 yrs cancer free.
You can do this. I feel you are a strong and positive person from following you. 💪🏻
I wish you all the best in your journey of your iron deficiency and find healing 🥰🙏🏻🥰💚
KETO caused low K2 and Vitamin D. I felt like I could not function. Depression set in headaches, lethargy, leg pains..went on regimen of prescription Vitamin D and K2 and feeling much better.
Stay positive! You got this!
Thanks for the video it helped. I have to have an iron infusion and wasn’t sure what to expect. Hope you feel the effects soon.
I hope that this helps heal your body. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Its hard being a human! Our bodies are so complex and yet sometimes they feel easy to understand. I have experienced many of the things you have such as brain fog or exhaustion or insomnia. I just tried harder and I accepted many things/symptoms as part of my body getting older. You only do better when you know better, and that comes with experience or test results. In a few weeks you are hopefully going to feel amazing. Don't beat yourself up for what happened, we think our healthy eating, our good even great choices are making a difference then a slam dunk comes by way of a test result or a tough diagnosis. Sometimes the emotional roller coaster we take a ride on is just as tough as the test result or diagnosis. It's easy to blame ourselves, why didn't I see that or realize it was a symptom, the list is endless! Then we feel like a good strong pity party because we deserve it, but all we need is to just be gentle with ourselves because it was all a surprise and a shock to us! The questions we slam ourselves with, the why didn't I see that, the I'm so stupid to I feel like a failure! The list is endless. But in the long run be kind to yourself. Feel everything, but don't stay stuck in anger, sadness, or anything negative. Let yourself heal. Let yourself be human. You did the best you knew how in the moment, in the season. You will make more mistakes, you will make more good choices, its just the way it goes with life in this body. I appreciate all that you share, its good to hear someone go through what I went through and its encouragement for me. It makes me feel less alone in my mistakes and successes. I used to be good at beating myself up but with time I'm not so harsh with myself! I'm excited for your future self in how amazing you are going to feel! Hugs!
See this is exactly why I think you’re brilliant, because you’re so insightful, and thought provoking and analyzing of yourself…keeping an open mind, nothing is ever black or white. I truly feel 99% of us are stuck in a grey area, praying it’s one way or the other. It becomes so complicated…life, living healthy or trying too get healthy/healthier…🙏😇💕💫🦄
When things like this happen I think "what if we had not been doing our best to eat as healthy as possible"? And being in upper 60s and working to push back Hashimoto's thinking it could be so much worse if I had not found out when I finally did and was not already doing my best. Glad you will be getting the help and hoping you quickly see improvement.
My own experience it took the full six weeks to start to feel better
I heard your first announcement of anemia 2 days before I found out my ferritin was a 9 and iron 9.5. I was painting furniture and was just listening and thought, “that is interesting.” Little did I know. I found Krystal Moore because of you and I believe and hope her form of iron can help me avoid this in the future. I had infusion 2/2 yesterday and was sending you good iron vibes. I too hope that I feel or sense some shifts before 6 weeks. I also suspect that I have been anemic since kindergarten now that I am aware of the symptoms. I am now 44 and feel so much compassion for the little girl that was me that was hard at times. Being in my own skin was very confusing and I didn’t know how to articulate my experiences in my body. They thought I had SPD and severe depression later on. I have ALWAYS had restless abdomen and was absolutely shocked to hear it called something and referenced. You have been a tremendous help to me. Thank you 🙏🏻
Even though eating healthy…don't guess…just test….especially if you have symptoms. So you know for sure. I pray the infusion works well for you.
Hindsight is 20/20 don’t beat yourself up.
Glad to see you got the infusion today, I hope that you see an improvement before the six weeks. I think all of us want to believe that all is well even when it isn't, but some symptoms come on so slow and go on for so long that you begin to think that it is just a normal sign of aging. Don't try to overthink what ifs, sometimes you can't catch every little change in your body and what it means. Keep the positive outlook as that always helps when dealing with things, but temper with some reality. You are doing fine.
Praying for you to start feeling more energy soon!
Do they use your blood for the iron infusion.
Good to hear everything went well. Looking forward to following your progress.
Thaqnks for the tag along. Feel better soon.
I was really interested in your videos regarding your low iron. Back in my 30's I had low iron and doc's just said take some iron supplements. OK. I did for awhile. Didn't even think about it as my children got older. I was in my late 60's and noticed my equilibrium was off. I chalked it up to my sinus/ear problems. Doc's kept pushing antibiotics in me. A couple videos ago you were talking about your low iron and how you don't chew your meat long enough in order to absorb some of the nutrients (iron). So two weeks ago I cooked my steaks, sliced them thin and took a little bite at a time and chewed on each bite until it almost dissolved in my mouth. My symptoms have improved after two weeks. So thank you Nili for that advice. 🙂
Build yourself a list of your symptoms and test results. Figure out a rating scale for your symptoms. Rate your symptoms using your scale say three times a day. Do that daily for 3 months. Note any new symptoms. See if you're ratings trend towards the better or the worse overtime. That way you have a better chance of actually observing changes of things that are fairly subjective. Good luck, I hope your infusions do the trick!
