Crazypants 36 Posted June 14, 2013 I'm only a week out. Felt incredible day 1-3 and after that just wasn't feeling right, each day got worse. Day 6 was miserable!!! More liquid didn't help. More sleep didn't help. More Protein didn't help. THANK YOU to the sleever that posted something that I stored in my memory for some reason... I can't recall who you are or what post but you saved my life. I took an Iron pill last night and woke up feeling amazing again. I took the other half tonight and felt even more improvement! Better mood, more energy, and looking at life with hopeful eyes again! Sweet dreams everyone!! Woohooooo..... 1 skrubabilen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vegasneon 181 Posted June 14, 2013 What kind of Iron pill did you take? Like what mg? I wasn't told to take iron but I see that people do. My multi has 18mg which is the suggested daily requirement for average people. I am so tired I really wonder if that could help me too. I'm going to try googling how much iron is safe. I see people taking some kind of iron liquid too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazypants 36 Posted June 14, 2013 Hi Rebecca, I just ran to check the bottle... 50 mg. Random grocery store brand and it was even expired.. lol. I was out of options and just tried for the sake of trying it. My dr and NUTs never mentioned Iron specifically. I know my body rather well so was comfortable taking it. Good luck! I hope it helps you too! Fingers crossed for you! (My multi only has 18mg as well). My other factors that helped the low iron.... It was TOM when I had surgery. Then I've also had.... Ahem.... Liquid bathroom issues (2 days, now stopped) so not keeping good stuff in me. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
