I was anemic off and on from about 13-27. When I first was diagnosed, I couldn't swallow pills, so they gave me LIQUID IRON. There aren't words in the English language to describe how nasty this tasted. I learned to choke down a pill in a hurry.

I'm with you on the liquid form. I have problems swallowing pills so a few years ago when I had mono the first time, I couldn't swallow the pills cuz they weight down on ur tongue.... they gave me the liquid. I did it as a shot chased with orange juice. NASTY.

I'm on the iron pill because of the surgery that I'll be having, not from anemia. Although the tiredness could be that every year around this time I got mono again (blood test proved) and I thought that not participating in rush this year I wouldn't get it again. I'm goin in tomorrow because I feel my bronchitis is coming on again, and getting other bloodwork so maybe that'll tell me what's up. I just hate this feeling of not wanting to do anything but sit on the couch!
