I was really anaemic in January and had a blood tranfusion and iron transfusions. My haemoglobin increased from 40 to 135 and ferrtin is now in normal range. I am taking iron tablets daily. I had investigations and it was found to be anaemia caused by insanely heavy flooding periods - on tranexamic acid but it not helping so need a hysterectomy as i have two ovarian cysts too 80mm and 30ml on one and the other 50mm and 42mm.
I have since put a stone on in weight. Before anaemia treatment I was 8st 8 now 9st 8. Awhole stone! what would cause this? My stomach is huge and my legs that were toned are now flabby. I am not eating more.. walking 10k steps a day so upset and don't know what has caused this no clothes fit
