Good Morning I Have Suffered With Anemia Since I Was
Good Morning
I have suffered with anemia since I was 10 years old. I have been on and off iron tablets most of my life having heavy periods does not help. I had a baby last July and took iron tablets all way through pregnancy as my iron levels were so low. It is the haemoglobin levels that are low. It did suggest on one blood test about possible thlassemia carrier? I have started feeling exhausted again and wanted to ask should I take iron tablets or the ferroglobin liquid you can buy at health stores? Which is the quickest to absorb and get working? I do understand that iron reserves do build up after three months of iron supplements but just wondered if I took a liquid formula it may act quicker to tackle some of the symptoms like the extreme tiredness?
Many thanks
