I’ve had to remind docs to include it or they forget to check. The symptoms of anemia are often present in those of us with low ferritin, causing women to have what looks like heart issues,mental health issues, overall declining health, etc… This needs to change & ferritin should be included in every female’s physical from the early stages of menses to post menopausal age..as when left unresolved the lack of oxygen and red blood transport wreaks tremendous havoc.
