My Grandmother is anemic,She has been on pills for years,And also she gets a B-12?SHot once a month.

Id go to your doctors,Im not trying to scare you but some of those symptoms sound like Diabetes,DOnt panic!

Is there history of this in your family?

I am anemic too. I was/have been severely anemic for years. We seem to have it under control for now. I took iron transfusions for months.

Dawn, if you have CVS there, go and look for some Ferrous Gluconate tablets. Their CVS brand, in a green and white box, usually on a lower shelf-green tablets. They're about $7 a bottle(I think). I take three a day and it keeps me ok. That was the doctor's orders so I know it's ok. Make sure its Ferrous Gluconate because it won't give you the constipation worries. You have to take Vitamin C with it to increase absorption of the iron.

You may want to start out with one or two tablets until you can get to the doctor. You don't want to overdose on iron. I hope you see the doctor soon and get some relief-it's no fun to be anemic.
