Low iron symptoms?

I had blood work done last week and my iron levels have been a little low. What type of Fibro symptoms can we get from low iron? I'm starting a supplement. I wonder if it can contribute to the sore throat and cold like symptoms I'm having? Thanks. I feelso yucky rt now :(

Sore throat, chills, always cold, joint and muscle aches mostly in arm and hands, constant fatigue, skin burning!! Huge medication intolerances to antibiotics and most paid medications.

Yep, I get dizzy spells too!

Told me to take an over the counter iron supplement for now. I have meniers too! It stinks! All they want to do is throw more drugs at
Me and eventually you say enough is enough ya know?

I take two bp pills. one is a diruetic.. the other is like a beta blocker as I have an extra heartbeat that knocks me for a loop. he how to halve it as my heart rate was dropping..

yup menieres vertigo cervical vertigo. neck problems..

ask the pharmacist for the best kind of iron sups.. that wont cause constipation.. but most of them do... did he tell you the dosage...

and he will have to do blood tests to see if you are level. with the iron...
you dont want iron overload....

great let me know what happens.!

I have iron deficiency and at one time my numbers were as low as 6.3 (11.5 being low normal). I felt as though I was constantly walking thru water. Every thing took effort. Even thinking about getting up and walking across the room took effort. I was woozy headed, wobbly, extremely tired, weak, cold and had balance issues. And, I ate ice like it was manna from heaven.

Now my level stays around a 10 so I still battle the fatigue and weakness on occasion. My doc told me to add vitamin C to help with the absorption.

Also, I have the opposite affect from the iron, I run to the bathroom, and sometimes in a great hurry.

(I also suffered from sore throats and ear aches and so far no one can tell me why. Since my iron, vitamin D, B-12 and thyroid levels are all good now the sore throats don't bother me quite so much. Because they all over-lapped in appearance and treatment, I cannot say which one may have been the true culprit.)

Hope the iron brings you some much needed energy and takes care of some of those other nasty symptoms. It may take awhile for you to see the results so don't give up.

Take care,
