That's quite a big weight loss, and maintaining it is a huge success!

I hope you'll be able to get in to see your doctor; there are all sorts of colds and flu going around this time of year. Also, just the weather is so dismal; spring can't come soon enough (real spring, not calendar spring, lol).

Are you taking vitamin C with your iron; it helps it to get absorbed more easily.

I didn't know that? I was told to take it with meals and within an hour of any other meds?

My doctor always told me to take the iron with vitamin C to help absorption. Maybe it depends on the type of iron?

Could be a low B12 count as well. Have you had that checked recently? I get B12 injections every 3 weeks and I always know when I am due for one because I get so sleepy and lethargic. Worth checking out...
