Could there be a connection between low ferritin levels and Bruxism/TMD?
Since the last 5 years, I have been getting my bloodwork done every year and surprisingly the Iron (Ferritin) is always low around 30-35 ng/mL with haemoglobin levels normal.
I have been reading articles about how low iron can make you drowsy/restless and in some cases induce anxiety.
I never supplemented iron in my life but i'm looking into adding Iron Bisglycinate 25mg and see how that affects this nighttime clenching/bruxing situation.
My b12 and VitD3 levels are in the optimal range so that is already ruled out.
Let me know if you guys have low ferritin as well with normal haemoglobin levels.
Edit: I have already tried multiple splints/night guards/ PT and Botox as well for my TMD but it still doesn't go away permanently, and this is the reason I'm looking into other things.
