I have been feeling extremely tired and my blood work showed low serum iron (9) and low vitamin D. My doctor advised me to take 325 mg of Ferrous Glutamate and 2000 mg of vitamin D daily. I have been on this regimen for a year, but recently I doubled the dose for two days and then started my period two weeks early. Could this be related to the change in dosage?

Even with supplements, ongoing fatigue and early menses may need rechecking iron stores and hormone levels. Over supplementing can affect cycles too. Test and adjust accordingly. Consider testing for TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Serum Ferritin, FSH and LH
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a Ferritin Test Test or Take a FSH and LH Test Test

I have been experiencing mild fever and headache daily for the past month. The headache is sometimes severe and sometimes mild. Earlier it was not constant, but for the past few days it has been constant. While exercising, my head hurts, and I am unable to work out, which is very important for me as I have PCOS. I have also been experiencing heart palpitations and feel tired all the time. My face is getting dull, and my complexion is becoming darker with each passing day. My recent test results are as follows: TSH 1.190, FSH 6.27, LH 3.08, RBC 4.94, RDW 14.70, Magnesium 2.20, Creatinine 0.57, Hemoglobin 13.40. What could be the problem? Please help.

Two years ago, my doctor prescribed Encicarb and Nervigen. Can I take these medications again? I also need to know the correct doses. My recent blood test shows my iron level is 17.
