Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

First let me say that I'm glad I'm not alone. I am a very healthy 43 year old female. I am having the same issue. I have had the COVID vaccine and booster. I know have iron deficiency. It started with thinking I had a pulmonary issue since I could barely breathe on my runs (before this I was running and at OTF). It was actually that I had almost no iron. I have never had a health issue in my life. My past CBCs are rock solid. Since finding this out, I have had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, pelvic ultrasound, CT of my abdomen, chest and thorax. I have also had about 10-12 blood tests, urine tests, stool tests, and tested for H Pylori. Everything is perfect, but my iron is dropping 3 mg/dl a day. I get Infed injections which leave a horrible bruise for months. I can hold iron to save my life! Seems suspect that it was the vaccination.

@tinamarie1616 hi I just read your post and wondered if you were anemic too or was your iron numbers just dropping ? I ask because I’m having low iron, low trans saturation, but my hemoglobin is at 11.3 so in the doctors eyes I’m not anemic enough I guess

Sorry this happened to you but glad you found this forum. I have had the same issue as you but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I had two Infed infusions and have been taking an Iron supplement. First infusion was March and another in May. My latest blood test last week shows my Iron levels as normal. Hang in there and hope you get back to normal. BTW, I had two Phizer shots but no booster and will never take a booster.
