Iron Question

I was taking 180 mg carbonyl from vitalady. After a recent hospital stay it looked like I was losing
ground so I added 650 mg ferrrous sulfate (130 mg elemental) at the advice of one of my Docs partners
that saw me in the hospital and I added 2 proferrin a day 28mg elemental. We'll see where that leaves me.

Before I got sick with an abscess the 180mg carbonyl were inching me up to normal but getting sick seems to
have thrown that out of whack.

My Iron levels are low, however steady coming up.  My Iron Saturation jumped 3 points just by taking them for 2 - 3 months. In order for that to happen I would take 5 Vitalady Tenders daily.  Right now I am trying to take 600 of Vitalady tenders.  I asked my primary care doctor and she said it is okay.  I do not have any bad side affects.  I tried to do the Profferin ES, however, extremely terrible constipation, I mean extremely and expensive. I think if you want to quickly get your numbers up, this MAY be the way, however, its not worth it because I have been slightly anemic all my life.  It runs in my family so a couple of months with MY numbers are not going to kill me.  My friend takes 300 daily and she has been the same way, but since she been doing 300 consistently her numbers are good.  Some people for some reason its more challenging to get the numbers up, hopefully I will continue to see improvement.
