Eh.. Everyone is different. Glad you felt so great with crappy ferritin levels, but in all honesty I am glad I feel like crap now-it's the body's way of saying hey fix this now, and had I felt like crap before maybe I would have fought harder to handle it earlier. Now I have a referral to a hematologist and will treat it effectively.
For the record, functioning and feeling like crap are not mutually exclusive.. I have functioned 100 % ( except immediately post op), yet have been anemic for over a decade and often felt like complete ****

I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!
"People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within." - Ramona L. Anderson

Somehow I jammed a button, and that wasnt my intent. I get that everyone is different and I dont *know* that I feel so great! I just feel like I *always* feel.
It wasnt a dig at anyone else, it was a musing about how good I might COULD feel.
And I didnt say anyone else wasnt functioning girlie - I was amused that it seems I might *should* feel worse and give myself more flack about it. Kinda like chronic pain, you dont know its a big deal until you dont have it anymore.
I have also been anemic for a long while and nobody ever thought to look at anything but my H&H.
anyway. I didnt meant to be a button pusher or imply that no one else was not functioning, just musing at how much better I could feel and therefore also function that much better.
But mostly bring up the point that however we feel - watching our labs is important.
