6 years out need help with iron

I am 6 years out and wow is all I can say my iron level is at a 3 I feel like a walking zombie sometimes I have tried everything to get my iron up ..now the docs are talking hysterectomy to help stop periods to get my iron up when I have my month period it drops bad ...any advice would be great i do take my iron and all my vit also /?

I am almost 5 yrs out and suffer from iron deficiency as well. My hemoglobin got down to 6.1 and I was severely anemic. I've gone for a couple of rounds of Venafur infusions and my levels came right back up. It seems like a hysterectomy would be a radical way to address the problem. I definitely wouldn't rush into it.

Tender Iron from vitalady is a good absorbable source..iron infusions are what doctors usually order. If you can eat red meat, bison is a good source with sliced tomatoes cuz that makes the iron aborb even better..My grandmother used to have beef liver ground into our hamburger for years.. Another really good source of iron..

 I am also 6 years out and suffering from Iron Deficiency.  My iron level is 3, also, and I know exactly how you feel.  

Today I start intravenous therapy for it.  IV infusions of iron every 3 days, for 5 sessions... we'll see how I feel afterward...

I agree with the previous post, hysterectomy should be last resort... did you try IV infusions already?

After the iv infusion, do you still have to go back to the regular regiment of iron supplement every day ?
