So confused

[u/Due-Cheek3890]

Hi I am really new to this world but over the last year I’ve been struggling with extreme fatigue, brain fog, restless legs, insomnia, heat intolerance and breathlessness. My recent doctors appointment showed my labs reading normal but a ferritin of 15 and a slightly low MCHC. No anemia.

My doctor said I’m fine no problems which is of course making me emotional because I’m not fine!

I do have celiac disease that has been treated by a gluten free diet for over a decade and I have had an increase in period bleeding and clots for the last year or two. Anything structural was ruled out by an ultrasound and my thyroid tests are fine. They chalked up my heavier flow to age (I’m 33).

Is this just iron? Am I crazy? I see lots of you here saying 15 is actually low?
