Hair & Iron @7.9 Anyone else iron this low?

[dimechiq]

i'm wondering if anyone else had an iron reading near this and had major shedding (long hairs from the root, shedding, nOt breakage).

i've been taking iron for 1.5 months now and thought if it were the iron it would be shedding less by now.

anyone else with low iron levels like this?

Unfortunately, about three years ago my iron level got down to 6. I'd been having serious problems with fibroids which led to my becoming very anemic. My doctor recommeded I take iron 3xs/day and my body responded fairly quickly. I don't remember having an excessive amount of hair loss at the time, at least no more than normal.

However, my levels have dropped a bit and my iron is now hovering around 10 while my thryroid is borderline. As a result, I've had heart stopping shedding over the past month so and plan on starting dHerbs Full Body Detox to cleanse my system, and follow-up with his iron phosphate and thryoid supplements which have gotten good reviews.

Wow lady sorry this is happening to you. I'm afraid I may have the same situation. I plan to have my numbers tested. Thx so much!
