Lack of iron from fibroids
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi all I have been on iron tablets since being diagnosed with Fibroids 3 years ago. I had a UFE on 18 Jan and was fine while I was taking the iron tablets. They ran out a few days ago and tried to order more from doctors as I'm feeling very tired. And I was informed by the receptionist at the Doctors that I cannot have any more iron tablets as I have been without them for 22 days one of the GP said. This is not correct and I tried to tell them but they are having none of it. Off to the blood test clinic now (they said they will reinstate my iron tablets when they get the results which will take a week)
I'm worried that my levels will be normal while I still feel like I can't keep awake. Is this possible? Would really like to hear if someone knows

Am not sure if i understood you well
But i have being taking low Hb level due to
Fibroids and taking iron tablets now and then, but to me i think its not good to take iron tablets through out because your body might get used to them and therefore not manage to make its own blood. I think when they told you can not take more after stopping they might be right as "maybe" you need a break after taking long.
For me i try to eat foods helping wth iron & especially raw beetroot(can make juice by mixing with sweet fruits) etc
I would advice you consult a 2nd opinion(doctor) they will advice you.
Good luck. Xxx

Are you maybe on other medication like family planning pills? coz doctors sometime give them to slow fibroid growth.i used to take them n my periods were as heavy as like half way giving birth,& always anaemic but i stopped n after few months all was almost normal.try to check wht u are having as prevention to fibroids growth like herbal teas etc ( i know it does not always work for everyone) but its worth a try to stop some. If no other medications then you can try my way;
Drinking water early morning at 4 or 5am 1litre in 1 or 2minutes,75ml at 11am & 75ml at 4/5pm all in 1 or 2minute. Its not easy in 1st or 2weeks but 3week u will get used,(i dn't always manage the 75ml but always get 1lt in morning) it forces u to streach/exercise & cleans your system,& now i can run not get tired quickly n period pains disappear, water too is good in blood formation plus good diet.
(Anywy this workd for me i hope it help you and any other who read.
I pray that u wil get a solution to that problem..

Doctors can be a real pain sometimes! I am having a real battle with mine over sick notes!
For my weariness i take Vit B12 n find it really helps. I also agree with 3guru that sometimes its good to take a break. Like u i have been taking iron tablets for 3 years but i got fed up post op n stopped. If u eating a good diet n menses r not overly heavy then 4 werks of iron should put u back to normal levels. You could also try liquid iron like Floradix. Ive seen it in health shops
Hope u get some relief.
Xx

If you feel in need of iron, have you tried Floradix liquid iron? I've been using it and my levels have really improved. It is abit pricey, but I think it's worth it.

now try boosting your iron intake with the right food.
can you eat liver?
eggs, spinach.
i take B viamin complex twice a week as its expensive.
its good to give more energy so take in morning or you'll be awake all night!
