A member asked:
Always tired so i had blood tests done and they said my iron and thyroid levels are on the lower side but not deficient. should i be taking supplement?

Need more info: From what you described thyroid and iron are not likely to be the cause of your symptoms. You may be depressed and should seek counseling as effective treatments are available. Taking iron supplement will not do any harm.
