Ferritin

I have low ferritin, it’s 9 and my iron is 11.2.
Feel absolutely ghastly this morning,  breathless, tired, yucky, brain not working ( what’s new), seriously felt terrible. Got permission to leave work, go home. Went to Dr’ s. She said my blood levels were why I felt so bad (I guessed that) and I’d feel so much better in 1 to 2 weeks.
Also maybe I should avoid the slim fast for time being. Ok.
Slept all afternoon for 7 hours. In bed now at 11pm feeling exhausted. At least it’s Friday tomorrow.
I do think my current poor diet is not helping. Need to get a grip on my eating. I need to start looking after me.

Feeling pasty washed out and rubbish

TUE 17th Sept.

DID Slim Fast today. Had a shake for breakfast and one for lunch. Wasn’t so good for evening meal though. Had 2 crusty bread rolls, packet crisps, ham, mayo type dip.
DID go for a walk round the marine lake in the evening with Colette.
Checked my blood results at the Drs. My Hba1c is down to 79 from 92. Cholesterol 4.1
I seem to have a problem with my ferritin level again or my iron? Dr is ringing me on Monday afternoon.
Perhaps this is why I’ve been feeling a bit puffed out when walking? Also my palpitations are back. ?????
