oh yeah
I was telling The Boyfriend that I constantly feel like passing out whenever I have my period, & he was like, "Have you ever taken an iron supplement?" And I was all LOL NO.
But come to think of it, the times I've successfully donated blood (they usually can't get into my veins, so I stopped trying), I've been told the blood is un-good b/c I don't have enough iron.
Anyway, he bought me some, I've actually felt like a human being the last two days despite heavy flow (as in, haven't felt like passing out?!).
DOES THIS MEAN that I should take it in non-period times, too?!
I know that the real answer is, "Ask your doctor," but that would require seeing my doctor, so.
Anyone have experience with iron supplements?
In other medication use, I feel that I should mention I find papaya extract WAY more useful than Tums. I've been taking it for over a month now.
