queen263 0 Posted September 15, 2009 Has anyone else had an issue with low Iron? My primary will not write my approval until my hematologist clears me, but they can not get my iron too much above 7.5. I've completed everything else and this is holding me up.

Mimilou2004 13 Posted September 15, 2009 Sometimes ppl are not told to take their Iron with Vitamin C. It is absorbed better. Maybe this hint will help you? Best wishes. Mimi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nursekristen 0 Posted September 15, 2009 Ive always had low Iron. They put me on a iron supplement after my blood work came back. Have they put you on any?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

queen263 0 Posted September 16, 2009 Hi all and thanks for the suggestions. I am currently on intravenous Iron for the 2nd time. I started at 6.6, but it only went up to 7.6 and I have completed this cycle. I have thalassemia and my iron isn't going to go to a normal range (11 - 14). Oral iron is not absorbed in my system. This is so disheartening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
