I very much would like more informatio from anybody who has anemia due to low ferritin counts
My hemoglobin is normal and I do not understand this whole thing at all and it also frightens me as I have had perfect bllod counts my entire life. I am on iron supplments as I was feeling so lousy finally went to the dr. He told me it takes quite awhile to build up your iron again
I have suffered from fatigure, lightehadness, and just overall feeling like a wreck. Can somebody PLEASE write and reassure me that his is not alife thretening thing as I just cant get enough info I have to go back the first week of Oct for another blood test Also can you begin to feel better when your iron starts buildingup??? Sure could use some help out there.
help me out I am on iron supplements and 1000 mgs of Vit C from the Dr. Does it take a long time for the iron to build up again and why does this happen?? I was told diet was the main culprit not enough red meat, but I thought I was doing okay but I guess not.

Thanks Kathy
