  1. Peppermint tea usually helps a little but usually I just have to ride it out for 3 - 4 days sleeping and resting.
  2. Hi lynda, that sounds extreme. My ferritin count was 18 a few months ago. Below borderline. My doctor had it retested recently and it is now 24. She says whatever I'm doing, keep on doing it. She also suggested I continue with the high potency iron supplements I'm taking (it has 270mg dried ferrous sulphate eq to 87mg of elemental iron and 300mcg Folic...
  3. Yes, hair is growing faster now... I'll have to change my hightlights to a shade that is closer to my natural colour because I can't afford to have it done so often. The new growth looks terrible.
