Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I have seen many people try many different iron supplements and yet those of us that got the levels up quickly have all taken ferrous sulfate at 325 mg a pill and dosed 2x a day or 3x a day. Most people wait a year to see any improvement. You can go for shots, if you can afford it.

I've written a note to the doc about some thing on my blood work...like the fact if she wrote off the low TIBC to antibodies (her notation) than she has to also say that my Ferritin was elevated because of same. (and it was only 34). But i've told her I have some concerns about taking iron in case I have any liver issues - and does she think a Liver Profile is appropriate. And I have also mentioned that I probably should have my B12 tested since my grandmother had pernicious anemia and I had that low TIBC. I should hear from her tomorrow I hope. I'm also concerned about taking iron tablets with malabsorption issues...and need to find out if there is liquid that might be more readily absorbed.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Okay Jamy and Janie...the past couple of weeks I feel a bone tiredness...this is the low ferritin, right? And here's the question....how long after supplementation do you start getting rid of the fatigue. By the way, my tongue had been feeling sore for about two days...and i was researching this...and guess what turns up? Iron deficiency. And also, I found out that that ache in my legs at night is probably what they call Restless Legs Syndrome...and guess what - it too is related to iron deficiency. Why have the doctors tried to kill me? Don't they know anything? Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
