Anemia, Iron Infusions & Other Things 

Glad you are doing better. I have anemia, hypothyroidism and PCOS and am also vitamin D deficient. I am taking iron, vitamin D supplements and thyroid pills but I'm not noticing much of an improvement energy wise lol.

It could be an iron absorption issue. I had a similar problem. I started drinking lemon water in the morning and squeezing a bit of lemon on any cooked food that i’m eating. This helped! And also keep caffeine 2 hours away from any meal. Caffeine blocks nutrient absorption. Hope this can help!

Sounds a like a vampire who hasn't fed recently...

I also had 3 in Ferritine, so I completely understand. What really helped is putting my periods on hold with the use of birth control, in order to stop losing as much blood as I used to. Now my ferritine is around 16, slowly climbing but definitely getting to a better place. Good luck :)

Sorry to hear how much this has affected you… I’ve had a lot of health issues prior to now, including adrenal crisis and anemia (with shortness of breath) but mine was due to tick born illness. I went to a naturopathic doctor, I did herbal medicine and I loved it, it worked, there was no side effects and it’s gentle to the body which is great. I’m doing better now, I have more energy again and very few symptoms. It’s good for chronic issues. I know ferritin deficiency can be genetic. Stay positive and keep your head up, you will get better in time. Wishing you all the best I hope you start feeling better soon 💗

As a blood donor I have to keep my iron levels up. There was a period a few years ago when I couldn't donate as I was borderline anemic and took iron supplements for 12 months. I've donated nearly 60 times so far - I do it as I have one of the rareer blood groups.

Thank you Mahafsoun for sharing 🙏 You have beautiful hair. I was told that with anemia due to lack of ferritin, hair fall down. I took ferritin pills, they had zero effects and makes me nauseated all the time, so I stopped. After many years, I think that my hair fall has nothing to so with lack of iron, like many doctors said, and fortunately it's going better even without taking strong supplements ! I hate eat meat but if I feel I need to eat it, I do ... my doctor (she is also my gynecologist) tells me to eat lots of oranges, and spirulina 🍊

Hello, You might have a malabsorption issue. Your body absorbs nutrients in your small intestine through little hair like projections called villi. Diseases like celiacs and inflammatory bowel can cause damage to the villi. There is a better test for celiacs other than a blood test. They can take a biopsy and see if the villi have been flatten. Always consult your doctor for advice and see what is right for you. I really hope you feel better and find some answers. ❤️

Same story here. In my case the culprit is autoimmune issues. Lupus. Maybe you should check levels of inflammation or your inflammatory response. Inflammation eats iron away, thus anemia comes as one of the symptoms. Best wishes and I hope you feel better soon.

Can you give a update? I really find you very well spoken and I just found your channel and I’m dealing with this anemia at the moment and did you find your cause? Hope your way better! Happy Holidays

Can you do a day with you when you get your lips done! I want to get mine done too but I want them done correctly like yours!! 🥰 hope you feel better soon 🖤

Good to see Lucifer... Hopethings improve for you. Thanks for caring in health services, cater for your friends who are there since the first months and the propensity to expansion of your words leave me elated 😍😍 hope life be kind to me so I can be a patron some day. Empress, you rule!

She’s officially a vampire now. Also 1:46. LOL That cat.

Your description of how you get up and what happens to you also happens to me as well. I literally have to get out of bed each morning in 2 stages or I lose my balance.

Can u do a hair routine please love your hair 🙏❤️

Taking care of yourself is of the utmost importance. Take care and I wish you good health.

Welcome back goddess 🖤

I just had one feeling alil better

If you have not already done so I suggest that you get a T.V ultrasound of your womb to check for fibroids and also talk to an endometriosis specialist if you have any concerns about potentially having endometriosis. Good luck.

Sorry. Your vid is 2 years old that I am commenting on. This is my first video of yours that I am watching. Upper scope? Have you been tested for Celiac Disease? It’s a blood test first then upper scope for intestinal biopsy. You need to be eating gluten to determine if you have it.

In all seriousness, does that make you an Iron Maiden? 🤘 Sorry you're having to go through this 🥺

Il est 1h30 du matin à Paris et je vous remercie, Madame Mahafsoun, de nous tenir informé sur votre état de santé.

Iron supplements vs Heme iron is absorbed totally differently. Your body absorbs heme iron much more efficiently than iron supplements. I was severely anemic my entire life, and supplements do nothing for me. Only thing has worked to bring my levels up, and I won't say it, because you said you don't want to hear people say it....but it worked for me. My body absorbs the iron in it, versus the supplements I tried for years and years. And I don't get nausea from eating it either, like the supplements gave me.

My experience with eating steak wasn’t that great. I was anaemic and don’t eat red meat cause I don’t like it. I decided to eat it for lunch and dinner in an attempt to get my iron levels up even though I hated and it made me feel sick. When I went back for my blood test my iron levels had gotten even lower. My level dropped to 12 which was my lowest. Just cause it works for other people doesn’t mean it works for you.

I have anemia too, but my Iron levels are more than normal. Eat rare steak, steak tartar and raw liver etc. at least once a week. I know you don't want to hear that, I was like you, I never liked meat growing up, but it is necessary, NORMAL and you'll get used to it. I'm Armenian btw. my doctors think it might be genetic. Please can you respond to me and tell me if you're resus negative too?

REALLY💔👑❗

Iron and vitamin d level should be 100.....you are gorgeous lol.

Vitamin c taken with iron is supposed to help you absorb the vitamins more. Wonder if they ever mentioned. Also veggies with iron should be easier to absorb than iron from meat. Take care 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

I feel as if after 1 iron infusion my skin has gone 1 tone darker 😥 any solution ❔

cook with cast iron cookware

Fooroo I wanted to say i feel for you and your illness and im sorry... but i Gotta tell u. Jesus Christ died for us sinners. He loves us so much to save us from hell. Jesus suffered, died and was buried and he rose again on the 3rd day. He loves you. He loves all of us and if you believed in Him and what He did for us, you will be saved for all eternity.

who is Sal?

You are so damn pretty i cant 😍😍😍😍

A simple change in your diet will alleviate your health issues. Why someone would risk their health because they don’t wanna eat meat makes zero sense to me.

Hii Queen hope u get well soon ❤

I think free you

Scary stuff. Hope they find out whats going on. Have you tried heat shock/cold therapy? (Saunda/ icebaths). If you can handle it, liver is great food in terms of Iron. Then again, what do I know, just hoping words and ideas can help finding solutions.

Is that the reason why you give up on belly dance ?! coz we are not seeing videos anymore 🤓

🐈‍⬛

Your so beutiful you look like a haliwood star 🥰🥰🥰

👍😇

I do really hate to bring fourth this to your attention. I am a victim of something as well as you. For different but same reasonings. I would explain more but I am afraid that they're going to find my comment. I'm truly sorry.
