Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hi, Some women here have gotten their heavy bleeding to slow by putting ice packs on their abdomen. This is what I mean. This could help you. Are you taking Slow FE (slow release) iron and vitamin C for your anemia? Craving ice is a symptom for sure. Make sure you stay on top of this. It's very dangerous.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hi, It's a symptom of anemia, possibly severe anemia. You need to get this checked ASAP. You need to take Slow FE (slow release) iron and vitamin C (for absorbtion). You can buy Slow FE iron at Walmart, K-mart, Target (Sam's Club is cheapest). Once your anemia reaches a certain point, eating iron rich foods is not enough to get your counts up. It can take a year to get your stores replenished fully. So this takes time. You will feel better much sooner than this. If you are very severe they can do a iron infusion to get your counts up quickly. Anemia is dangerous. It can kill or damage your organs. I and many others here have ended up in the ER over it. I was told I could have died from it. So keep on top of this. It's preventable and much too often overlooked.
