I have been taking iron tablets since 2010 for anaemia and I still have no stores and low blood test levels, my symtoms are getting worse, I have no energy my bones ache and my hair is thinning rapidly but my doctor keeps saying to persevere with the iron tablets.... Is there anything more I can do I feel so depressed with it all?..
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Get a complete hologram to identify the type of anemia. Iron studies and it B12 assay is also necessary.2. If iron studies show low serum iron and low ferritin, the oral iron tablets are possibly not getting absorbed properly. 3. You will require iron infusions or iron injections to improve iron. More details necessary for further opinion. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
