I'm cold all the time. does this mean i have low iron? and if so, how would i fix low iron? with pills?

Possibly.: Anemia from low iron can cause a feeling of being cold all the time. To find out you need a blood test. However, other things can cause this, like thyroid hormone problems. Get checked by your doctor and find out what's going on. The sooner you know, the faster you can get treated and feel better!
