Got my blood work results today.

I got my blood work back today. I'm extremely anemic. My Ferritin level is 2.6. I was quite surprised because I was on iron therapy, right after my miscarriage, a few months back. Another strange thing is my B12 results. My doc says that they should be lower than they are, considering the very low ferritin. My B12 level is 407. The normal range being between 243-894. So I start back on the iron tomorrow and will retest in three months. Also, my thyroid was low. Which I expected as I've been on synthroid in the past.
Anyone know why she expected the b12 to be lower than it is and does it mean anything? Maybe that's why I've been feeling like crap lately? A ton of stuff on these pieces of paper that I don't understand but I think I've gotten the most important stuff. She had to make copies of the reports secretly because they're not supposed to copy them for anyone. Not even the patient, which she thinks is stupid.
Any comments? Oh, one more thing....what are some of the symptoms of anemia? Can I expect to have more enery and not have my muscles hurting so bad, once my levels come back up? So exhausted. I know I've been useless to the board lately. Homeschooling, couple with my hurting body has left me just reading for the most part. Wishing sweet dreams for all.
