Anyone else anemic?

Okay, I see a pattern here. I am anemic too. Just had my labs drawn while I was in Mexicali for my face lift. B12 was good, Iron worse than before I started taking iron.

I take the Iron that vitalady recommended. I have been on two different ones from her. The one I take
is the one that is iron and vitamin c.

I don't know what else to do! My insurance really sucks so I know they would not pay for infusions.
I would imagine that is pretty expensive.

It could be your ferritin... Andrea U who posts on the main forum and other RnYers or DSers are REALLY knowledgeable about Labs and Iron, I'd go post there and see if someone has suggestions.

Thanks so much, everyone! I'll take your suggestions to heart and see if I can't get the numbers up with good nutrition and supplements. I love y'all's guts!
