Please take your vitamins daily...and raise your levels to healthy...You will feel so much better and your body will be more efficient and able to care for the three of you...UGH!  Twins!  OMIGOSH!  You have to take care and be there when your twins make you a grandma! 

Have you tried Carbonyl Iron (Tender Iron)  for your iron trouble...I've been taking it for 6 months and went from anemic to too much iron! That's easier to fix!   When I was taking it easy (for my heart and brain) during the anemic period, I had to cut my normal caloric intake by 500 calories just to maintain, because i am a normally very active person who suddenly had to stop all exercise that might tax my heart....I've spent the last 6 months watching my calories and I didn't gain...But I didn't lose either...So I was glad I was able to cut back...I just kept a log and tried to shoot for 1100-1300 calories...rather than my normal 1500-1800....But you must up your vits and get your health back to normal....

Big hugs!

Anita,

I see a Hemotologist on a regular basis and I don't absorb the pill form of Iron. So every few months I have to have transfusions done at the clinics. It's a pain and takes a lot of time but I have to do what I have to do...

Thanks,
Shannon

I didn't either...There are different types of iron.  I do not absorb the kind of iron most doctors prescribe...which is the most common ...iron salts, more namely,  ferrous sulfate which doctors are most familiar with. 

Carbonyl iron is totally different....Most doctors are not yet YET familiar with this non-toxic, highly absorbable, easy to digest form of pure ionic iron.  I was inches from a blood transfusion myself...

Just keep it in the back of your mind if you decide you want to try it.  It's working for many of us who were anemic where nothing else was working....Just a thought
