Found out today that my iron is at an 11... The doctor said normal is between 50 and 160... Ooops.

Anyone else had this problem? What did they do for you for that?

Dr. Benn gave me an incredible tool.. and I intend to make the most out of it!!

I take iron supplements...I have an RX from my surgeon for them....call yours and find out what they suggest you take. That is way to low!!!

Good luck....hugs....connie d

Hi
Starting this Friday I am getting iron transfusions for my low iron. Once a week for 6 weeks. I have been taking a daily iron supplement, but for me..obviously was not enough. Glad I know what has been making me so dizzy and tired lately, even though I am not looking forward to these transfusions.
Best wishes to you!
