    iron deficiency or MS?

    The last few weeks I've noticed some weird symptoms, finally got a blood test and it showed I'm iron deficient. The symptoms are:

    • Pain/cramps in legs
    • Sometimes I'm unsteady on my feet
    • Brain fog
    • I'll say one word when my intention is to say something else, idk what you call that
    • Rapid heartbeat


    My concern is that this is actually MS. I get bad headaches, which is why my doctor ordered this blood test. I'm also vegetarian so it would make sense that I'm iron deficient. I didn't mention my MS fear to him. I just started supplements today, so I'm guessing I'll give it a month or so and see if it improves. If not, this girl is requesting an MRI.

    Can anyone else relate? thanks!

    Frankly, those are symptoms of iron deficiency and anxiety.
