I get horrible, horrible headaches from iron. I have tried every form

out there, including the ones suggested by the wonderful folks on this

board. The only ones I can tolerate are Spatone and Proferrin ES.

Even these, I can only take in half doses once a day. I am currently

working on digestion and diet issues to see if it helps with the iron

uptake. My doc also suggested vitamin A, which didn't work well for me

the first time around, but I will give it another try soon.

Hope that helps,

Thanks for your feedback...i'll give it a few days to make sure it's

the iron causing the headache and irritability--I hope not because I

really want to quickly raise my ferritin so I can start taking armour!

Right now I supplement with one cap of dessicated raw liver, and I do

okay with that. I also have an acetylcholine imbalance, so I have to

watch anything that raises it - like liver and egg yolks. =-( My

system is extremely sensitive, so everything in moderation. Most of

the iron-rich veggies give me stomach pains, probably due to the

oxalates. Kidney pain, frequent urination, and kidney stones run in

my family, hence watching the oxalates. I've had very poor results

with the plant-based iron supps like Flora.

Boy, I really sound like a hypochondriac. My girls and I have had

genetic testing as well as liver tests done, and the results explain

why we are hyper-responders to everything under the sun. We won the

lottery when it came to genetic abnormalities and autoimmune

predisposition. It makes trying supplements and meds quite a treat,

let me tell you.

Did you have a suggestion? I'm open to them all.

Have you tried cooking in an iron skillet? This is supposed to add iron to

the food cooked in it. I have no idea how much though. If you have a really

hard time with other sources it's worth a shot.
