    There is a lot of blood loss I think...

    ?

    I needed iron tablets prescribed for me but not sure if they made any difference. Was six months before energy levels back!

    Eat lots of food rich in iron.

    Good wishes for your recovery!

      Jenny80029, 

      I was never prescribed any iron pills and I didn’t have a transfusion  so blood lost must have been minor. Thank you for the well wishes!
