Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hi Ku, Yes, I am one of those women that temporary lost attention and memory. I've been anemic for years. On days that I forgot to take the iron tablets, I could tell I was not my normal self. I had to be extra careful when I drove or needed to make any large or small decisions. During the one month that my blood count went down to 8.6, I did all sort of weird things. Here is one: I was driving and came to a stop light. I stopped and I stayed, and the light turned green, then red. Then I thought someone was honking at me, but I did not bother to pay attention to my surrounding. While the light was red the second time I realized what I was doing. It was like my brain " forgets " to function for a minute. Well, I am almost back to normal but still take iron tablets.
