Feeling hopeless

For those of you that recovered or feel better how long did it take?
At the end of February, I found out my ferritin was a 9,my hemoglobin 11, saturation 11%, iron 45
Between March and June, I have done 6 infusions total=1200mg some symptoms have improved, but only slightly my anxiety is still through the roof. I’m constantly on edge. I have headaches, insomnia,
Lightheaded, hot flashes,heat intolerance, I used to be bedridden because of this ,I can walk now but if I stand for too long, I start getting dizzy and feeling like I’m going to faint🫩
My ferritin is a 65 now
Saturation 29%
Hemoglobin 12.8

These are my results as of May 2026. Ferritin was 9 in Feb and is now 65 after 6 iron infusions (last one 4 weeks ago). Some symptoms improved, but I still have debilitating fatigue, daily anxiety, and what feel like adrenaline dumps. What else should I test? Labs in comments.
