After reading the guide I think I might be on to something here…based on these labs, how should I approach my doctor?
Backstory: I’ve been sick since I was a child, diagnosed with IBS, then fibromyalgia, mild factor VIII deficiency, endometriosis and adenomyosis, depression, anxiety, autism, adhd, and some sort of suspected connective tissue disorder like EDS (not hEDS though). I had major surgery last October (10/13/25) and they took out a ton of endometriosis (can’t remember technical term), and a sigmoid resection of my colon. I got an iron infusion 3/14/26). I started taking vitamin B complex and vitamin D (5/22/26). For the last year and a half I’ve had symptoms of worsening fatigue (more than typical) to the point of after eating meals I almost fall asleep standing up. I’ve always had lightheadedness, rapid heartbeat when standing among many other sxs. After both the iron infusion and pills, I still don’t feel any better. I have an appointment to see my GI to talk about malabsorption due to my copper and zinc being low among other things, and then to the hematologist since the iron infusion hasn’t done anything. I feel like my GI may suggest an endoscopy and I don’t know how I feel about that. Any tips for how I should approach this whole situation?
