Infusions.

Trying to weigh my options. I have so many symptoms
-anxiety/ ocd
-fatigue
-shortness of breath
-air hunger
-heaviness
Nervous system on 100000 at all times, even minor triggers.

Started at ferritin of 7. Supplement for 4 months and ferritin at 18.
I’m scared of infusions but I don’t know if I can wait so long?

Give me your bad and good infusion stories!

OCD

Has anyone experienced OCD due to low ferritin? (I know it’s not the ONLY driver.)
But, hyper-vigilance, mind racing, intrusive thoughts etc. inability to let them go.
And has anyone seen once your ferritin rises your resilience goes up?

Need to build ferritin asap, advice?

Ferritin started at 7. In 4 months of talking Thorne ferrasorbe it only jumped to 18. What made your guys iron go up faster? (1 pill, twice daily. Total of 72mg)

After seeing that I switched to three arrows heme iron. (2 pills twice daily, 80mg total.)

The low ferritin has been a driver of my OCD symptoms so I’m looking to get it higher as fast as possible without an infusion.
