Discussion: Iron-ing things out

Posted	Discussion
Sept. 27, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3142 posts	Iron-ing things out I found out that I was iron deficient and may have been for some time which causes fatigue and dizziness. Within 2 days of taking some iron pills I was feeling dramatically better. I remember the term anemia or anemic thrown around a lot when we were younger but that's in fact what iron deficiency brings on. A word to the wise...

Sept. 28, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3142 posts	Thanks for the advice and good intentions guys. John, I think you're right about too much iron. It leaves a metal taste in your mouth. I did some reading as a result of your admonishment. Thanks a ton. See you Phoenix.

Sept. 28, 2010 JimS Men's 60 10 posts	I had low iron levels whrn trying to donate blood. Research on line said drinking too much coffee can inhibit the bodies ability to absorb iron from a normal diet. I stopped drinking coffee everyday-still have it occasionaly- and my iron levels went up to where I was good to donate blood again
