Iron anaemia

[Allystyle]

Hi, I've had a low iron count (again) and need infusion but still waiting after 2 mths for appointment!

I find taking iron tablets makes me very nautious and bad stomach ache with it?

Anyone else have this and any ideas?

HI Allstyle, welcome to the forum. my son takes iron tablets, but he takes it with food. it sort of helps with the nausea and belly aches. This only a suggestion. How many tablets are you taking. My son takes two and spaces them out. He takes one in the morning with his meal and another one a dinner time with a meal. i don't if you can give that a try and see what happens. Best Wishes.:welcome:

Try to take them before bed so I can sleep it off.
Works sometimes

Scott is right, taking them with a meal helps. I had to take extra iron when I was prego and now, and know the pain and nausea you are talking about. It happened when I didn't eat with them. Try it, I'm really positive it will help you out.
