Have to take Iron Supplements, otherwise the anemia comes back with a vengeance... just wish I knew what truly is preventing my body from absorbing enough iron, or creating enough red-blood cells... doctors are not terribly concerned, keep saying that it is common in women of child-bearing age... yeah, so... what do I have to do? wait until I pass that stage to finally have them listen to my concerns? frustrating!
