I think you should make sure you really need iron supplements before taking any. Like a blood test. Are you feeling tired and lethargic?
My neck had been sore as well but post menopausal i am now. I bought myself one of them lavender bags you heat up in the microwave, really found this helped, in fact its all gone now.

Renee, unless you've been diagnosed with anemia, I highly doubt you need iron. Recent medical research has found a coorelation between high cholesterol and high iron in the blood especially in peri & menopausal women.
Therefore, it would be wise to eat a healthy, green (spinach) salad which metabolically will help produce iron without any side effects. The other thing is that if you're feeling down or low from energy, a few things can help, like walking for at least 20 - 30 minutes, or doing some light exercise. Even doing a little weight lifting will help you produce more blood which will help revv up your adp and last. taking a vegetarian multivitamin, like I do when I'm down, it picks me up within an hour.
