Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

I do not understand how there isn't any information on this or even a study being done. I am an individual that has had the Pfizer vaccine. I have had issues with my iron levels since. I also know another mother and daughter that has the same story I do and she works with someone that has had the same issue. I do not know many people since I moved to this area. But this is small group of people that I have spoken to has the same issue. Now we are all different ages, all different medical issues, but we are all females. I am the oldest out of the other 3, I am 56 years old. I do not think anybody is doing any kind of study on it because they are not relating the iron issues to the vaccine. I have always had higher than adult mans iron levels than I had the vaccine. Poor absorption and low levels of iron. I take iron supplements everyday. I was in so much pain in my feet & legs and was so fatigued I couldn't function. Once I started the supplements it took time but the pain in my feet and legs started to feel better and I started to get more energy.

I had two doses of the Moderna shot (these are not technically vaccines), and experienced drastic anemia that put me in the hospital receiving blood transfusions and, later, I had to get iron infusions. I don't have a history of anemia and am past menopause. I was tested for other possible reasons for the blood loss, all were negative. No one during my long search for a reason for my sudden anemia ever mentioned the Covid shots as a possible cause. I reported my injury to the VAERS agency and never received a reply, nor was this problem looked into. Pfizer, and the other manufacturers, don't care. They can't be sued, and their only interest is their quarterly bottom line. I think we are on our own, but thankfully we have these forums to express our concerns.
Would you mind describing the pain that you had in your legs please? I've also developed severe fatigue and pain in my ankles and legs since the vaccines last January.I've been taking Feramax daily since and seem to be getting better very slowly.Looking forward to seeing my latest blood results.

I 100% agree with you, I think there are a lot of people out there with low iron that either don’t know it yet, have discovered it long after they’ve had the vaccine or haven’t related back to the vaccine. The thing that made me make the connection is that I got tinnitus shortly after my 2nd shot, and it can be related to low iron. I’ve heard of more than a few cases anecdotally on my social circle. 6 months of supplements did absolutely nothing for me so now I’m eating to see a hematologist. Could be 18 months.
