No Energy. History Of Suggested Anemic, Had 2 Blood Transfusions. Can Starting With Iron Tablets Help Increase In RBC?
i was told by doctors a few years ago that i was severely anemic, and had to have 2 blood transfusions. I am beyond tired all of the time and have no energy at all. I have no insurance and don't want to pay a fortune to go get checked. If i go back to taking iron pills, should this help with bringing up my red blood cell count again? and do you have any suggestions on how to feel better?

Hi,
It seems that you again got severe anemia require to give attention.
If hemoglobin level is too law, then you have to go for blood transfusion.
If level is moderate or not much low then Iron capsule with folic acid will give improvement from anemia.
Go for causes of having this deficiency like worms infestation, chronic blood loss etc.
Take high protein nourishing diet.
Go for B12 deficiency test as well.
Ok and take care.
