[QUOTE="sansevieria, post: 749348, member: 157045"] wow, I feel a bit silly not knowing there were more than two types! I used to be borderline anaemic, and I think I was that way for a very long time before finding out - my iron stores are normal and always have been, but my ferritin level is lower than average, and oral iron tablets haven't had much of an effect. I do also have a connective tissue disorder (diagnosed with Joint Hypermobility Syndrome, but that might not be all), but I don't think it can cause weight loss (unless it effects intestinal tissue and causes diarrhea which mine doesn't seem to). I'll bring it up with my doctor on Friday, because it's not been mentioned at all to me. Thank you! Even if it doesn't end up explaining what's going on at least it feels like I'm moving forwards a little :) [/QUOTE]
