hey guys i’m looking to get some bloods done soon because i’ve been feeling like absolute trash lately. honestly my energy and motivation are basically zero and my libido is pretty much non existent at this point which is super depressing. i also have a feeling my thyroid might be messed up or something since my feet are literally always freezing cold even when its hot outside
i also wanted to ask about my parents labs since i was looking over them the other day. both my mom and dad have high cholesterol and their ferritin is sitting right at the bottom of the range. i was thinking about getting them on some stuff like citrus bergamot omega 3s and maybe coq10 to help bring those numbers down but let me know what u guys think would be best for them
also i noticed something weird with my alp levels. theyve been slightly high since puberty and i always just figured it was cuz i was growing but i saw my moms test has the same thing so maybe its a family thing? im 18 now so i dont think im still having growth spurts like that lol
i figured i would ask here since you guys are always getting blood work done for cycles and stuff so i assumed there would be some people who actually know their shit on this topic. let me know if there are any specific markers i should make sure to ask for besides the basic stuff thanks
man that combo of low energy + zero libido is rough, i’d def get full bloods done instead of guessing
cold feet all the time does kinda sound thyroid-ish, at least worth checking so you’re not stuck wondering
good on you for looking out for your parents too, citrus bergamot and omega 3s are pretty common starting points
ferritin at the bottom can make people feel like crap even if everything else looks “normal”
the ALP thing could totally be genetic, i’ve seen families where everyone runs a bit high and it means nothing
since you’re 18 it’s smart to get this checked now instead of pushing through feeling awful
this sub is actually solid for bloodwork stuff, lots of trial and error experience here so you’re in the right place
