i suffer with low iron alot, it makes you really tired, if you are suffering with it you need to be on iron supplements and watch it doesnt get too low, i think the level is about 11 or 13, mine went down to about 8 once which was way too low. The tiredness can effect you by making you feel dizzy, etc. San x

I suffer from anaemia and I'm also on ferrous furmate, but my tiredness, headaches ect were not improving. I've recently been diagnosed with a folic acid deficiency so I now have folate anaemia. They've put me on folic acid too and my symptoms are easing.
