Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 ok all you low iron people..........lol. I got a paper from Dr Z saying what kind of iron is best and thats what im taking. How many times a day do you guys take your iron and how long does it usually take to get iron levels back up. Dr Z gave me a great explanation about how DS'ers can become anemic. Now I know why it happens to alot of people. Im not anemic- just a little low. I thank GOD for my labs. I never would have known. Ive been tired but thats from my body healing. I would not have any symptoms because im not actually anemic. Without my labs and Dr. Z, I would have become anemic. Scary!! vicki who is with Jo on making sure everyone gets their labs.

Make sure the version you got isn't and extended release brand. I could only find ferrous fumerate in that form for a ong time untuil I found the walgreen's brand. Be careful. I think Slow FE and Ferrosequels aare both fumerate but both are extended release.....Just a FYI. Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 HI I take 150mg of Tender Iron (carbonyl) with vit C from Vita Lady. No problems with my stomach and it's brought my iron level up. As a man I didn't think that I needed iron, but my labs earlier this year showed that it was low.
