After my dr's appointment. Simultaneously the easiest possible outcome and an extremely frustrating one, which is that he said the low iron is still a very likely explanation for the exercise intolerance/fatigue, and he emphasized that my earlier result of 8 was very very low. So I guess yay. This is very easy to continue fixing. He seconded the sports doctor's opinion the iron supplement is unlikely to be responsible for the rash or headaches (and the rash has been gone for 2 days now), so I'll go back up to 2 supplements per day. Retroactively frustrated, because when I asked him why I got conflicting advice from my pcp about whether ferritin results matter, he said they matter when there's also fatigue and there's not conflicting recommendations floating around in the medical world. So I guess I'm decided about changing pcp's away from the one who was reluctant to do the ferritin test, didn't follow up on it, and didn't recommend iron for the low result. Today's doctor also ordered a follow-up test I can use any time in the next 2 months, so hopefully it'll be fixed and that'll be the end of that. Hopefully the other symptoms stay away too, but just in case, I have 2 more loose-ends appointments coming up in the next 3 weeks.

Used my angry energy to do all my achilles exercises during brown bag very angrily, which is probably why my intensity values for this session were shifted up.
