How long does it take to start feeling better again?
My level came back as 10 in last blood test.
I'd been feeling very dizzy and lethargic for several weeks hence asking for blood test.
The Pharmacist gave us a box of iron tablets - 200mg three times a day and I've been in those for almost a month now.
I do feel a bit better, palpitations not as frequent and I'm able to potter around at home but I still can't tolerate any physical exertion. I walked very slowly round the block today and came home with double vision, slurred speech, numb feeling all over, especially feet and just overwhelming exhaustion
I'm so fed up and starting to panic that there might be something else going on.
I have made some improvement since taking iron and have good days and bad but getting really impatient to be well again.
How long did it take you to start feeling like your normal self again?
