Hi, .ive had problems with my iron levels since giving birth in august 2010. My last count in Nov was ferritin 9mg. I was told to try and eat more red meat, which I have, although the feeling of lethargy, headaches, and unexplained bruising has returned. Should I be put on some form of iron tablet??
Probably you are suffering from iron deficiency anemia. You ferritin level is very low, and it indicates very low iron level and due to that you are suffering from anemia symptoms. You should eat more iron containing food like beggary, green leafy vegetables meat etc. And you should go for injectable iron therapy to recover from deficiency. And if repeatedly these occurs then concern doctor to search the causes.
