anemic

I am 4 1/2 years out.  I have irregular periods this last one has lasted a month and still going strong.  My doctor says I am anemic.  It is my own fault I haven't taken iron in about two years and I can't tolerate red meat.  How much iron should I take and what kind?  I have heard there is a kind that doesn't cause tummy troubles.  I also know it is better absorbed when you take it with vit. C.  Any help would be greatly appreiciated.                                                     Katherine

I am dealing with border line ameria and I am having iron infusion I was told that pills will not help but I was taking 2 to 4 pills a day of chelatd iron pills from twin labs. 

Yesterday I was told that I am borderline anemic. I have read the symtoms have most of them.  I am 4 yrs out now and the fatigue, memory problems and over all weakness really stinks. What are doctors doing for you? Where did you go? My dr thinks because the surgery that there isn't much she can do for me
