I was diagnosed with PD in June 2025 and put on Carbidova-Levadopa. Can only function on half a .5mg pill morning and at bedtime. Seeing a movement disorder specialist. Fatigue overwhelms me a good deal of the time which prevents me from keeping up with daily living. About 2 weeks ago I decided to request blood tests to rule out any deficiencies. Sure enough, my ferritin level was only a "9" and I saw a hematologist who had me come in for a blood infusion. Now the infusion is causing fatigue but hoping I can regain some of my lost energy.. Anyone else deal with PD fatigue and on meds that help for this??

@js2022 I had to have 2 infusions before I felt better. My ferritin was 4.
