Anemia?

Are you anemic? If so how does it make you feel. I'm making an appt ASAP to get tested because a lot of how I feel lately seems toward back to anemia.

Do you just take iron pills?

mostly just tired!!! sometimes i get really cold. yes take iron pills plus a stool softner

I'm anemic. I get dizzy and hot very easily. I feel drained all the time. I was given some iron pills, they don't always help.

yep tired and cold all the time but I also have probs with my thyroid so yippee that adds to it as well

i was bad anemic w my first pregnancy, and craved ice...all the time...didnt want food, just wanted ice. that was my only symptom. i was put on presription iron pills, but my levels never came up to normal :/

I have constant headaches, feel dizzy and almost like I'm not in my own head most of the time, I'm out of breath walking 2 feet, I'm always cold now which is new for me, I have bad crazy memory loss lately, way tired but yet have insomnia

Even if you have extra iron in your vitamin, make sure you are eating iron rich foods! The best sources are meat. But make sure you don't pair it with calcium-rich foods or anything with caffeine. Iron is best absorbed when paired with Vitamin-C, so drink some 100% juice with your meal (or if you don't like juice, go with fresh fruit).
I can tell when I'm not getting enough iron (which was a problem even before the pregnancy) because not only will I be exhausted all the time and freezing, my mood plummets and I get depressed really easily.
Hope this helps! =)
