Guest guest Posted March 30, 2000 Report Share Posted March 30, 2000 Mich ... my doc talked to me about getting iron infusion too (at hospital)... but I was able to show that I could get iron going up on my own (albeit slowly!)... I believe you were having probs with taking iron supps... I too am working to get my vits - mins correct & think it will make me feel better. Getting iron to the correct level is supposed to help the brain & all body parts get more oxygen that it needs... from what I've read, low iron contributes to slower thinking, & of course being more tired... I don't know, but have this idea that low iron ages my skin faster ... also, I have heard that weight loss doesn't work as well when there are imbalances in iron (maybe true, dont' know) ... I just wanted to share my motivation & I hope that I too will feel better getting my iron up! I hope you will find a way. Are you sure you've tried all the different types of iron supps?
