Yoga
Ferritin Level = 10
Really hoping and praying that starting an iron supplement will help me to feel better. It's been a really rough go for me and I feel like my health reached an all time low this Spring/early Summer. I've felt crappy running for well over a year but once it started effecting my everyday life I knew something had to be off with my body. Running slow and getting out of bed became a real struggle. I gained almost 10lbs and was beginning to feel depressed. If I didn't have a job I could sleep all day and I did on the weekends.
Tests revealed that my thyroid is underactive, cortisol levels are low, and last but certainly not least ferritin is low for a runner. I'm hopeful that I'll feel better once I can get these levels up into the normal range. I'm sure it will take lots of patience but at least I have some answers. I long to run fast again and as bad as I've mentally wanted it my body has just resisted every last attempt.
