Early warning: Your physcian will sort out early iron deficiency, which produces tiredness before it produces anemia, and its mimcs which include the effects of chronic inflammation. If you are not a woman having fairly heavy periods or a zealous blood donor or on a seriously deficient diet, and you are iron deficient, it's also key to find why -- where are you losing blood, is it from serious disease?

Agree with Dr. F: Abnormal blood loss, especially from bleeding in the intestine needs to be ruled out. Do follow your doctor's advice. Wish you good health!
