I had anemia for a few months and had to take iron pills and eat red meat. I felt tired all the time. I was diagnosed with anemia when I had mono. I am well now, but it is something that I always have to be aware of so I take a daily multivitamin that contains iron. Anemia can be caused by blood loss such as your period. If this is the case, iron pills should do the trick. If you really cannot take iron pills, eat red meat and kidney beans and take a mulitvitamin.

I would go to a doctor to get your symptoms checked out if possible.

I was in the same boat as you, anemia with mono. I've NEVER gotten my energy back and that was 4 years ago. I get mono again very easily... it's not uncommon for me to get sick again after recruitment so usually after that week people stay away from me. I had to take these little black iron pills and they were hard for me to swallow.

Every month I get ridiculously tired and light-headed so I don't do much.
