Could it really be that simple, an iron deficiency the cause of all my problems...?

[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 147356, member: 15832"] New testing is showing severe iron & vitamin D deficiency, it's no wonder whenever I tried to increase testosterone beyond 400 ng/dL symptoms worsened, fatigue, bloating and edema. I was driving iron vitamin D dangerously low, every test is showing lower and lower iron levels. Bowel movements are slow to a crawl, everytime I eat, bloating occurs as I'm eating, edema follows. These vitamin deficiencies are driving slow bowel movement, fatigue, bloating and edema. I always wonder why I felt so amazing the first 6 months on TRT, then it was like the rug got pulled out from underneath me. I'm willing to bet it is because it took 6 months to burn through what iron and vitamin D reserves I had left, once I became deficient, these problems started spiraling out of control. One could even argue the reason for low testosterones is.... I'm having a colonoscopy Friday and an ultrasound on the kidneys the following friday. [U]Latest Iron & Vitamin D testing:[/U] Iron [B]40[/B] mcg/dL 59 - 158 mcg/dL Ferritin [B]24 [/B]30-300 ng/mL Total Iron Binding Capacity [B]474[/B] mcg/dL 250 - 425 mcg/dL 25-Hydroxyvitamin D [B]12[/B] ng/mL30 - 100 ng/mL [/QUOTE]
