Please don’t think for a second that your doctor will always chase you or check up on you.
Sometimes you have to be your own advocate. Chase appointments, make calls and keep asking questions. You might get a prescription, and then you’re left to figure out the rest.
I honestly can’t believe how long I’ve lived with adenomyosis without fully understanding its impact on my body.
Low iron isn’t just feeling tired. It can mean:
* Extreme exhaustion.
* Breathlessness and dizziness.
* Brain fog and poor concentration.
* Hair shedding and weakness.
And most importantly, untreated iron-deficiency anaemia can put extra strain on your heart.
As a nutritionist, I know nutrition matters, but sometimes food and supplements aren’t enough. Medical treatment is needed.
If you’re on the NHS, don’t be afraid to chase your results and ask questions. If you can afford private care, that’s another option.
Women should not have to normalise feeling this unwell.
I’m putting together a new iron-support and hair nutrition routine. More on that soon! ❤️
Ladies, how many of you are also fighting this battle?

May Allah swt bless you with good heath and grant you shifa. Thank you for speaking up about such topic- being south Asian (especially Bengali) you are a beacon - to others who do not understand- there are days when even the slightest movement can feel like someone stabbing you a thousand times.
