Yes. Low iron can be caused by many things.

Lyme, babs, hypothyroid, adrenal fatigue, etc etc


I have low serum Iron and low-normal ferritin.

I've been told to treat Lyme and work on adrenals and it should correct over time.

Agree with the above: babesia usually cause anemia and low ferritin. Other infections too but for me, babesia was the main cause.
