Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

Maybe doctors and pharmacists need to take a look at this site before they dismiss any connection !

Got my iron infusion this morning from my hemotologist in mcComb,Ms.and it was a cakewalk..details at 11..

24 hours later and I feel much better..

I had the two moderna shots in 2020. The first one I did not really notice any discomfort. The second shot I really had a reaction,spoke with various people and the consensus was that "I must have a very strong immune system fighting the virus."
I have never had headaches and since then I do get them.
Last year I was told I was anemic and to see a Hemotologist. Blood test done told it could be many things, in Jan. 2023 diagnosed with Walden storm Macrogllbelemia. Am presently in I guess watch and wait. Do not know whether there is a connection, have been told by one doctor that no there is nothing to indicate the shots caused my WM.
I only took the shots because I was scared not to. Has anyone else encountered reactions with vivid shots?

I found this post searching for reasons why I would lose so much iron in a year. I recently went to the ER for something totally unrelated. They took blood and all the sudden im being told I need a blood transfusion and admitted to the hospital. I spent 3 days in the hospital having ct scans, ekg, blood taken, etc. and answered a million questions. Left with referral for GI and hematology consults. I had surgery a year ago on my shoulder and a full blood panel right after. Everything normal. My hemoglobin at the hospital was 6.2. After the transfusion when I left the hospital I was at 7.1. Hematologist said I had basically no iron at 2%. Since I have had an endoscopy and colonoscopy with nothing found. Ive had 3 iron infusions and have been waiting for my follow up with hemotology coming up next month. I was diagnosed with severe iron deficient anemia/feropenia. Nobody understands why this would happen. Ive had no bleeding events, and regular non heavy periods. I was honestly hoping for an ulcer or something that would give me answers. The only thing different I have done is the moderna vaccine which after the second shot I started menstruating the very next day. Completely off schedule it was very light but I spotted constantly for almost a month. I went to the gyno for tests in that area as well. Nothing found. So I too am wondering if the vaccine may have something to do with it. Probably just grasping at straws but its alarming not knowing.

Vitamin C and Iron supplements might not do it. Vitatron C did nothing, Iron Folic did nothing (used to pre vax), Ferraris Sulffate constipated like crazy, Heart & Soil Life blood mildly helped but never increase. My Ferritin was 5 - my hair was falling out, dry skin, brittle nails, heart palpitations, super tired, and now bone pain. My PCP and Hematologist said the extreme low Ferritin was to blame. Did IV Iron at the end of last summer even though technically not anemic but my symptoms dramatically improved after 5 doses of IV iron. Level went from 5 to 128!!! Unfortunately over the last 8 months I've been steadily dropping and back down to 11 as of a week ago. For your health, please keep an eye on this and potentially get a Hematologist referral if you're experiencing any odd symptoms (especially any of the above I've listed).

Too many of us have the same story. it's the shot. It's just proving it and getting the medical community to actually look into it.

Check your Ferritin levels and CBC w/differential, too if you haven't... Iron isn't the whole picture. Iron transports oxygen but need the whole story on your blood. Technically I'm not anemic but my Ferritin went to 5 (should be above 80). Heart palp and stress test, ultra, and week long EKG all came back "normal" even with multiple flutters throughout the day sometimes lasting over a minute. No issue in colon/endo. IV Iron helped dramatically but haven't found anything else to "hold" my Ferritin levels up afterwards. Now going to try Feroglobin per Hematologist but sort of doubtful at this point that my system is able to convert Iron properly. Either way, hope you feel better and find answers!

get a referral to a hematologist and consider IV IRON if no improvement in the next month with iron supplements. Don't wait until you pass out or worse! Supplements did nothing for me but IV Iron did. Good luck!

IV iron made my Ferritin go from 5 to 128 (!!). Still haven't found a supplement that works though to keep it up.. 8 months after IV iron and taking life blood supplements among others and my levels are 11 so time for IV Iron again... symptoms all came back too - my hair is falling out/brittle, brittle nails, heart flutters, tiredness, bone pain all to blame with this crap. Hope you keep your levels up and let us know if you find anything else to keep it there! Feroglobin is what I'm on now..
