The participants were evaluated using Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) as well as with a questionnaire form about descriptive characteristics. Serum ferritin level of <30 ng/mL was considered iron deficiency.
