Anemia

[Siviwe]

I have been suffering from chest pains for almost 9 months.. When I went to the doctor they said there's nothing wrong with me.. Then may this year I decided to go to another doctor who checked my full blood count and discover that I have low iron it was 8.4. And low vitamin D.. He recommended that I take iron supplements twice a day.. It's been 2 and half months since I started taking iron supplements but my symptoms comes and goes.. When will I start feeling 100% okay?

Although this group has the name 'anaemia' in the title, we suffer from Pernicious Anaemia which is quite different from Iron Deficiency Anaemia. So you may not get the information you need.

It takes time to get the benefits from iron supplements.

That's why you are not retested for at least 3 months.
