Summary
A 39-year-old woman had had severe fatigue and unbearable back and leg pain for almost a year, with bad days when even getting a glass of water felt like a big job. Blood tests showed low ferritin and vitamin D3, but supplements gave no improvement. She was seeing several doctors who did not seem to understand what she was going through and said she was depressed and desperate for a normal life.
