Recently discovered that I have very low iron levels so got put on iron pills. Have been taking them for a week, and just got through a heap of housework today without wanting to collapse from exhaustion. Seems like the pills are working - who’d have thunk?!
Had to take these during radiotherapy for cancer as iron levels had fallen off a cliff. Horrid things. They didn’t do much for iron levels as I had serious dire rear at the time. Also hated the color of poops - thoroughly unnatural. Given a choice, I’d go for the infusion I think.
Awesome! Keep an eye on your fibre and water intake, iron supps can make you a little constipated. Source: me, someone who also needed iron and had this happen.

Oh, that sounds rough. The poop colour change is, erm, surprising
Green is just … just … not what it really should be.

I’ve gotta remember to drink more water. They’re pretty rough on the stomach, too, but it’s worth it for the benefits it seems
I’ve been taking vit d and iron gummies all winter
dunno if it has helped 🤷♀️
Jealous. I was going to have an iron infusion but was hesitant for reasons
Tbh I’m relieved the dr recommended trying pills instead of that, as I’ve heard mixed reviews even though it’s apparently very effective
