Ask your doctor for a full blood panel
Recommended by Lexie
I just finally did this and found out I'm very low on iron stores which can cause all kinds of different symptoms. You have to ask specifically to get the FULL blood panel.
I have friends who do this every year just to check in and I'm definitely going to start doing the same.

This! And make sure thyroid is checked too. I have hyperthyroidism and it’s caused me years of fatigue and other symptoms. Luckily it’s very treatable, so get those numbers checked!

Same and my ferritin is always low, not that my doctor cares! But at least I can try to increase it on my own.

Thank you! It’s the one thing I keep forgetting to schedule- this is such a good call. I was low on iron with both and between both my children and it’s good to see if it’s ongoing. appreciate it
