| | 2 miles easy, I think I'm getting sick. Plus I'm still overly fatigued and felt tired from yesterday, like I never recovered.
Been having pelvic pain daily, my doctor suspects endometriosis. Gonna meet with my OBGYN Wednesday to discuss it.

| | 8:45 average. My fatigue is unreal. I was hoping to do 6 miles but quickly realized the wouldn't be possible with my fatigue. I feel like I'm in good enough shape to do it, my breathing is even and relaxed. I'm just so damn tired and it takes so much effort.
My thyroid is functioning fine, so now I have no idea why I'm so fatigued. My iron was normal, thyroid is normal, I'm just feeling like I'm going insane because obviously something is off but every test we run comes back normal. It's really frustrating. People can tell and tell me I look really tired all the time.
I suspect I might have endometriosis, but that can only be diagnosed in surgery. It could potentially cause fatigue, but I just don't know. My fear is they'll do a laparoscopic surgery and it'll be for nothing because nothing will be there. I feel like im going crazy because they can never find anything.
Been having pelvic pain, irregular periods, bloating, weight gain, hair loss, and fatigue. Some of those overlap with hypothyroidism, which I was diagnosed with earlier in the summer, but is apparently not an issue anymore because my labs are all normal. So it's possible I have Endo. Would explain my unexplained pelvic pain and irregular cycles and bloating.

| | So I decided to test my ferritin, which tests the iron stores. My ferritin is 17. I've been doing research on it, anything under 30 is considered an absolute iron deficiency. You can still experience symptoms below 100 and above 30 even though it's not a full iron deficiency. So above 100 is what you want. 17! No wonder I'm so exhausted and my hair is falling out. I knew something was wrong! I'm so glad to have finally figured it out.
it's not an overnight fix, it'll be a few months before it goes back to normal. From what I read you want to actually have levels above 125 for 6 months to let your body know you have enough iron, then you can drop back down to 100.
I can't believe I was right haha. I suspected iron deficiency from the beginning and finally convinced my doctor to test my iron but it all came back normal. Then I realized he didn't test my ferritin, and I kinda shrugged it off for a month, but I'm so damn glad I decided to get it tested myself.
So that's why running has been tough lately, I have a real explanation!! God that feels good.
