Anemia Support Group

Anemia (or anaemia), which literally means "without blood," is a deficiency of red blood cells and/or hemoglobin. This results in a reduced ability of blood to transfer oxygen to the tissues, and this causes hypoxia; since all human cells depend on oxygen for survival, varying degrees of anemia can have a wide range of clinical consequences.

Cures for Tiredness?

Besides taking iron, are there any other ways to treat fatigue when anemic? Also, I haven't been on my iron very long (was just diagnosed with mild anemia). How long will it take for me to gain more noticable energy?

For energy, what I've been doing, is a B-complex sublingual under the tongue. Works for me, ask your DR. Also, other than than the iron supplements, there's beets and black strap molasses. Again, worked for me. My lasting issues are memory problems. I'm guessing, due to the length of time I was severely anemic. That's the support group I'm looking for. Good luck to you.

Iron doesn't really cure tiredness or give you energy, it's just correcting the protein and iron levels in your blood.

B12 vitamins help with energy levels. Stay away from shake or drink supplements, they tend to have a lot of sugar in them. If you go to GNC they can tell you what Herbals/Vitamins would be the best type of safe OTC stimulant to help with fatigue and lack of energy.

I have been on iron and Vitamin B for 3 years and my fatigue is unbearable.
