I'm tired my iron is low.  I go see a  hematologist on Tuesday. I may need iron infusions.  I feel best the first week after my B12 shot...

But hear me......I'd do this again, and again, and again

I hope everyone can be as blessed as I have been.

Congrats!  You did WONDERFUL!  And about the low iron...been there done that!  Healed myself without iron infusions and blood tranfusions that my doc was on the verge of getting ready for me! 

Please try carbonyl iron in high doses for a few months....It took me two months on 325 mg of carbonyl iron with a few chewable Vit C and 2 mg of copper capsules!  I went from anemic to low iron in two months to completely normal blood counts in 4 months and in 6 months I was acually high iron and had to cut back....So the stuff works!  I was told by soooooo many anemics that I would never raise my iron counts on iron supplements alone...But I did and I felt the difference in my tireness in 2 weeks of taking the stuff! My hands and feet warmed and I could actually feel blood in my toes!  It was such a difference in such a short time that it wasn't until I started getting better that I realised how sick I actually was!

I used and still use Tender Iron (a chewable carbonyl iron) From Vitalady.com....I totally recommend it!

Good luck and I wish you continued success and beautiful blessings!
