Low iron
I had my 3 year check up with my surgeon the other week. It is so hard to believe that it has been 3 years! Wow!!!!
Anyway, my iron level has slowly dropped in the past 3 years (and yes, he has had me on iron the entire time) and it does not seem to be getting any better. I got my lab results in the mail just the other day. I still have a low iron count , and I sitll have a low Vit. D count plus now my absorbtion rate is low as well. They sent a precription to me for the iron that he wants me to start taking. I have not been able to find it any where. The precription if for ferrous fumarate-vitamin c 200-125 mg taken 2 times a day. The precription says that I can get it OTC. I have looked at Target, Wally world, The vitamin shop, and Puritians Pride. I can not find this specific vitamin any where. Does anyone know where I can find this? I will call my surgeons office if I can not find it any where soon. I just hate to try to contact them because they are so hard to get in touch with.
Thanks for any and all information that you can give me....
