Well, I'm fucking cursed!
A few years back I started taking iron. About an hour after taking the pill I'd get headaches til eventually I ended up completely sick with zero energy to get out of bed. Completely nauseous and in great discomfort all over my body. Sulfate.
Went to try fumarate. All good for about a month or two, great energy. Then bam! The same complete break down. Zero, zero, zero energy to get out of bed, feeling completely sick through out my whole damn body.
Then got prescription iron that supposedly didn't have side effects. About a week in I got headaches starting from the second I opened my eyes in the morning and lasted til I closed my eyes going to bed in the evening. Every single day, no breaks!
And now, I was on Technofer, the soluble pill. Meaning I drank it. And I was like, "What is this weird allergic reaction in ym throat? Wow, the air is so dry!" Bitch! It was the iron. My throat was so irritaed it made me gag, literally. My throat was going insane! And only today did I figure out why it was happening. I was using throat lozenges, nose spray, eye drops, two throat sprays and bought some capsules to put in hot water and breathed in the steam. All cause I didn't know why my throat was so irritated all of a sudden! Then I started to really think what changes I have made recently that could cause it. Fuck! I'm pretty, quite, very sure it's from the iron. I forgot to drink it today during the day and I felt so much better all day. It is still irritated but you can't even compare today and the previous days. I kinda hope my throat was a mess cause of the iron cause then it's answered.
But!
What about my iron levels!? My ferritin was at 6,1 last time. I don't know what to do. The nurse at my GP's office said I might have to start getting iron injections. Fuck no! I don't even wanna know how sick it'll make me. And it would be all out of my control. If it's from a pill I just stop taking the pill but I can't get the shot out of me. Fucking shit!
