Anyone taking precribed Iron tablets?

[madcatwoman]

Ive been diagnosed anaemic, not sure what my levels are but presume they are very low indeed as ive never felt such overwhelming tiredness in all my days!

so ive taken 3 days of iron(3 tabs per day),can anyone who has been on them for longer tell me how long it took to feel any effect, and less tired?, i just cant wait to kick this horrible tiredness

Takes around a week or so to make a little improvement but generally tablets take 3months to work 100% (thats how long it takes for the body to use them properly)

Couple of tips if you didn't already know, take them with vitamin C like a glass of OJ and avoid caffeine and dairy for 1hr either side of taking a tablet.
