Have been feeling v tired lately, especially during my period. Also got 4 mouth ulcers in the space of a week or so.
So went to docs, suspecting I was low in iron. They did a full range of tests and yes, am low in iron.
Being me, I asked what the reading was (this was all done over the phone) and was told the percentage was low, 18.3% when it should have been 30-40%.
Nothing I can find online refers to a percentage. Does anyone know what this would refer to? And how low is it? I'm only curious because I have been feeling so so shit of late.
