I recently received my blood work results. My iron level is 5, and my iron stores are 7. My doctor has started me on iron supplements twice a day. I have been recoverying from some nasty oral surgeries this past year, and despite drinking nutritional shakes etc, I think its played a big role in my lack of iron.I have severe headaches, and have felt very weak overall for months now. I understand my level is low, but isn‘t it extreemly low? Should I maby be in the hospital getting IV iron? I mean, my iron stores are almost non existant. What serious affects could this be having on me?Any info is appreciated.Thank You
