Does low iron stores cause headaches?

I have one of those hit by a 2x4 headaches for the first time in a while.  I think it may be due to low iron, but wanted to see what your experiences are.  I was taking daily iron, but stopped for a while becuase my gut and tush were pretty sore.  Now my head hurts.  Coincidence???

Have you changed any other meds or supplements? Are you on a steroid? Caffiene? Sugar(it was Halloween a couple of days ago)?
I know that during my pred taper, I had headaches that could fell a herd of elephants. They would also last a couple of days. Was hoping for a hole in the head...might have felt better.
But to answer your question, Iron, nor its lack, gave me headaches.

While I am a self proclaimed expert on anemia, I have never had what I would call headaches from low hgb and empty iron stores.

Mostly it has been loss of stamina and fatigue. Although I must admit when I am REALLY down I get nausia from just being rung out.

When they finally realized that I was a true anemic, I had horrible headaches! I kept thinking it was sinuses or something. Then my dr finally ordered to have my iron checked...and it was really low. I ended up having 2 iron IV treatments...what a difference it made! I still have anemia, and feel tired alot, but not to the point where I was a year ago! Good luck, and maybe think about having your iron checked!
