Hi all not good today GP refusing to give me Iron tablets even though I feel very tired. Says I am not low on Iron. Read online though that some docs don't even check the iron levels just the blood count. GP is ringing me tomorrow morning so I will ask her if my iron level has been checked (if it's below 50 then I am lacking iron) Feel really tired. If they don't give them me I will self medicate I don't care. You can get iron tablets from the pound shop. I'm so angry with the surgery.

Before my surgery for fibroids I felt tired a lot as my periods were heavy, but I used the supplement called Spirulina in powder form,1 teaspoon in orange juice once a day and also switched to organic meat and also exercised. Spirulina contains iron, protein and calcuim and is available in most helalth food shops..
Hope you start feeling better soon.

Oh dear definitely ask if ur levels were checked. I found that VitB12 helped to boost my energy levels and i got that from the health shop. See if ur B12 levels r low.
As said by 2f there are lots of ways to get iron in ur diet too
Wish u luck n let us know if they admit to checking ur iron levels or not
