Anyone with anemia? What do you do to feel better when symptoms start to get bad? So far I am trying to eat better, take iron supplements and daily multivitamins. I feel weak this week because my period just started.

I am chronically anemic. I take iron twice a day and eat a TON of vegetables with iron in them

Does it help it go up? I have anxiety troubles and it makes me worry even more having anemia. I just found out my levels were 8.5. I'm not familiar with it all. They've been under 12 for a while but I never knew much about it. Now the symptoms are bothering me bad and it doesn't help that I have heavy periods.

What are your levels?

mine is chronically low so I'm not sure. I take 325 mg of iron twice/day and it's usually around 20 I think but I don't really pay much attention anymore. Eating vegetables and other things will help. Just be careful not to overdose.

Have you ever tried to get your levels checked that could help also

Yes. That's how I found out they are at an 8 1/2. The doctor said they didn't suddenly drop. Some months ago they were at a 9. I do have heavy periods. They want to do birth control but I don't think I'm going rhat route. I think it got bad after I had my tubes removed last year and my periods have been heavier since. I just don't like birth controls ir any other meds as I mentioned. Maybe I'm stubborn lol but for real I just hate medicine.
