anemic (I think)

I think I am anemic (AGAIN!!!) In the last year I have lost count the number times I have been on Iron tablets,

I feel tired all the time- no energy- light headed- and sometime has a blurry vision! I hate taking the tablets, but looks like I will need to take a trip to the chemist for some and think I will stock up on GREEN veg

Hi hun! I'm aneamic too! Although mine is trhough pregnancy! i hate taking the tablets in fact im supposed to be on them now but cantt ake them as they make me feel sooooo sick! But i have heard that some chemists do sachets that u pour into water to drink rather than take tablets - these are supposed to be better for not giving u constipation! Dunno if they are any good?

constipation!

I dont have that problem- usually the other 😉

might have look for the sachets.

whenever i become anemic i ask for the syrup as i cant stand to take the tablets you can get this on prescription only i think

Could it be a thyroid problem - they have similar symptons like tiredness etc. I hope you feel better soon

I dont think it is my throid hun. I have pale gums and eyelids

I heard choc was good for iron- so going to try that method 😀

i was anemic after i had bubs, very light headed hope u feel better soon x

im anemic and i didnt like taking my tablets cause i couldnt poo....untill midwife rang and said ive put me and my baby in danger and if i dont start taking them i will be admitted to hospial and put a on drip untill im really to give birth.. well that scared me,, i dont want to be in hospital for 6 weeks so now im talking them..

i now take them

Love Crazy_girl xx

If you want an Iron boost the natural way eat red meat and dark chocolate 😀
