Anaemia

[Bluelady-sing]

I have bad anaemia iron tablets are horrid. My feet are cold my hands. My hair feels brittle

What foods are good

Red meat and green veg. BUT if you have anaemia & need iron tablets you may not be able to absorb iron from food, however much you eat. When you have the iron tablets, remember not to have them with any dairy products or calcium supplements 2 hours either side of the iron. Dairy & calcium prevent you from absorbing the iron & so you are having the discomfort for nothing. If you are not coping with the tablets & your iron levels are not going up sufficiently, you can ask if you are eligible for an iron transfusion. This is liquid iron pumped into your veins with a drip.

If you haven't already, try speaking to the medical professional that prescribed the tablets.

Three symptoms there are all problems you might have with an underactive thyroid. Ask your doctor for a thyroid function test. 😊
