I had a car accident back in mid february, hit from behind. Felt fine. Initially, until a week later, I started getting the headaches. Which turn into migraines, i stupidly didn't get checked out until mid March. was given gabapentin, felt like it worked 30%. April was relatively mild headaches a lot of brain fog, and i'm not sure if that was from the gabapenten. There were moments in april where I felt normal. However, sometime in mid may, I got off the gabapentin. Since it wasn't effective anymore, and was given metoprolol which i'm convinced did absolutely nothing. Got an mri with no results, went to PT, book getting an appointment was very inconsistent but mildly helped.

Since the end of may, my symptoms have gone significantly worse. 24/7 dizziness mixed with a headache, feeling weird in my left hand on and off for hours as if I have no strength. Much more nausea due to the dizzyness being prevalent and not having any relief. I'm attempting to go on walks and to do yoga and i'm eating super clean. Driving gets a little weird.

I can't even go to the store without my body tripping out. Every place that I try to get an appointment with seems to only care if it's workers' comp. I requested a concussion specialist but I can't see one until september at the earliest.

I'm so miserable. Im currently on pause from work.

Please tell me this gets better, i'm at the point where i'm terrified. Waking up each morning to a dizzy headache.

Earlier in the year(feb) I was in a minor car accident, and I was told that I had a mild concussion. I was dealing with migraines and headaches pretty consistently since then. I believe the headaches from the car accident meshed into the anemia. Had an MRI that was good in April. I did have blood work done early in January and nothing was brought up about anemia or iron deficiency. I've been struggling with different medications, trying to cover up the migraines. Last week I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy(friday) And the week before I had more blood work. Doing the prep for the colonoscopy was awful with a migraine i literally had a headache for thirty hours. And I pretty much been dizzy ever since. I need relief. I will be seeing a neurologist as well and be having another colonoscopy.

Hemoglobin is 12.4

Iron is 36

Tibc is 270

Iron saturation 13%

Ferritin is 167

They took out a polyp and told me I had iron deficiency anemia. My ferritin level is normal yet my other bloodwork is borderline. Anybody else have similar blood work? Was there any relief otherwise. I've been feeling like shit for over 2 months. And was told not to worry about my iron by my Dr.
