Ferritin is the storage form of iron. Did your doctor say you have anemia too? Low ferritin may or may not accompany anemia.

Hi mrs. D,
She did say that she looked over my past labs and I have always been slightly anemic.
I have been on iron before but a long time ago. Usually after having my kids.
I know I have been so tired lately so I am willling to try the iron. Does SlowFe constipate? Should I take B12 with it.
I had a B12 lab done in 2008. It was one of the first things I ask for. It was 429. They said that was fine. What do you think. I don't take supplements other than the one I mentioned before.

Thanks a lot for the help.
Hopeful
