Any suggestions on how to deal with anemia related to menopause?

The doctor has prescribed vitamins. I was wondering if anyone else knew of a good website to get info or has anyone else dealt with this. I would prefer to treat this as naturally as possible. Peace.

You can take xtra iron. Take it with a meal so it doesn't upset your stomach. It helps to also include vitamin C which helps to absorb iron. Your MD should be able to give you some medication to slow the blood loss to minimize the anemia. Might be something to consider. Some women become very tired and don't feel well. More related to the anemia than menopause. I prefer natural too; but sometimes drugs is the way to go for awhile. Won't be forever. Don't know about your preferred diet, but if you are vegetarian, you are more likely to become anemic. Red meat is a good source of iron.

cook with an iron skillet. Seriously. It will help with iron levels in your body. do you eat spinach at all? If not, you can sneak it in your foods and you won't notice it. I do this with my kids. I will make a salad and put spinach leaves in it. as long as there is ranch dressing on it the kids won't know. Also, when making lasagne, I chop up the spinach real small so it looks like oregano etc and the kids don't know that it's there.

I'd find a chat room and ask others in similar situations or ones that have been through it. The net has rooms with just about every topic. You'll make friends AND get info from those who are like minded or in the same boat. Yep... both answers above me seem right though.

Check the Wyeth website. They have been helping women for over sixty years with menopause symptoms. Good luck, GEM! http://www. wyeth. com/therapyareas

Menopause is a stage in life when a woman stops having her monthly period. It is a normal part of aging, marking the end of a woman's reproductive years. More information and remedies at http://useinfo4.blogspot. com/
