My doctors refuse to test my ferritin/iron levels, normal hgb and rbc but have every symptom of iron deficiency. I eat meat I eat the right foods every once in a while I have been taking ferrous sulphate for over a year now and feel worse every month after having a period. Doctors just put it down to anxiety after receiving blood test results. I am getting depressed I am constantly going to doctors and nothing is working. Haven’t found a supplement that works for me.

    I have been taking Spatone liquid iron which I bought from Amazon. I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia in August but so far haven't had anything prescribed by doctor. Since taking the supplement I've been feeling less tired and breathless. Also not had any side effects.
