Low Ferritin can mimic the symptoms of hypo. When my Ferritin was

rock bottom low, I had achiness, deep fatigue, depression. It was

awful. You'll be glad to find out where your Ferritin is. Generally,

your goal is to be at least 70 - 90.

And...since so many folks here are hypo WITH low Ferritin, it does

seem to go hand-in-hand with a lot of folks here.

When you say the tests come back clean, which tests??

I don't think you have cancer, dear one.
