Hello: I have a series of medical/health problems which I have been dealing with for some time now.

However, my most urgent at the moment is that my hemoglobin is extremely low (8.1) my iron is 11 and my iron saturation is "3".

What should I do? I have been taking iron pills 3 times a day but they are terribly constipating. I have also gone to my doctor for iron shots (should I start taking these shots on my own?) I also give myself B12 shots a couple times a week - I am feeling a little less weak but I am far from normal, I am so weak.

What do you recommend for me? I appreciate any help you can send my way. I am exhausted from all the idiot doctors/butchers out there who are a detriment to your health.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give in way of information and guidance in this matter for me.
