    B Vitamin injections are much more effective than supplements. I was getting them twice per week in the beginning.

    I take 300 mg of elemental iron per day.

    I take 3 iron tablets 3 times per day. I get better absorption that way.

    Hi! Do your leg symptoms happen during the day more than at night? Mine do and it's causing me to be off balance. I know my levels are low but no one has been able to tell me exactly if it's from my anemia
