Anaemia & Iron supplements

[Guest guest]

Have any of you ladies wirh anemia/iron issues ever had bouts

of inexplicable cold shivering that feels like descriptions of

mountain exposure? It can come on even when other people are

warm and the building is warm. I feel I can't be bothered with

anything except getting warm again and bury myself under

duvets, shaking-shivering a bit until I warm up and feel better.

Does anyone recognise this?

I heard that anaemia can make people prone to the cold. I have

jut been told (my op was in Aug 2003 and I had no transfusion or

flooding symptoms) that my blood is low on iron and I need iron

tablets. I'm not sure why this didn't come up last year with the

handful of blood tests I had then. It comes as no surprise to

anyone that knows me as I've always been a washed out pale

and cold-prone.

I know I'v posted on this before, but now there's a new take on

the question and it's still a mystery and a problem for me. Thank

you!
