Hi. I have had severe iron deficiency anemia for 4 months since a miscarriage and years of heavy periods. It has been 3 months of iron citrate 3x a day (25 mg apiece) and Floradix. I still have muscle aches on the right side of my back and neck. They'll pop up every other day along with sporadic crying and occassional breathing difficulty. I am just so tired of being sick and was wondering: has anybody nursed themselved back to full health on iron supplements, how long did it take, and in what manner did their symptoms dissapate. In the fullness of my anemia I had tremendous muscle aches in abdomen and lover back, then they moved up my back and to my neck. They felt like slow cramps. Any commisseration or advice would be appreciated. I'm at my wit's end with this illness! Thank you.
