“How urgent is this? ”

I’m a 50 year old white female, 125 lbs, and have a 10 year history of never-ending chronic migraines plus extreme fatigue, purple hands and feet, restless leg syndrome, tinnitus, and within the last few years, a couple of seizures, agoraphobia, panic attacks, depression and, in Dec. 2018, I started to have uncontrollable episodes of rage. Awesome childhood, parents & siblings I am very close to, a terrific husband of 22 years & two daughters - one is a senior, the other in her 3rd year of college. Most of the above symptoms sounds like I’m anemic but hemoglobin has always been within range. I just returned from the Mayo Clinic where I had my ferritin and folate levels also checked. Ferritin was 5.7 & folate was 3.2. Iron level was 10. I was perfectly fine until I had chicken pox at age 40. Not sure if that triggered the low ferritin, folate and iron or not. My doctor at Mayo said I should skip the iron pills and do an infusion ASAP. My husband & I have tried our hardest to get to a hematologist and have a referral from my GP however the soonest appt is a month out. Are the low levels dangerous enough that we need to maybe be louder? I’ve had the same GP for over 12 years and have “complained” many many times that I feel like I have mono again (had it in HS). But ferritin was never checked, just regular CBC where hemoglobin was within range. Then it was dropped basically.

What else can I do to see a specialist ASAP? I feel I have not been a good mother or wife for the last decade and want to feel like myself again! Plus we had a tornado completely destroy our home 12/26/2015 - yes the day after Christmas - welcome to Texas - and although we were not at home, the psychiatrist at Mayo diagnosed me with PTSD. Never even crossed our minds since we didn’t live through the actual tornado. But made perfect sense once she explained why.

Thank you for any feedback.
