Are there any tips for iron deficiency anaemia sufferers to boost their energy? the fatigue is killing me. thank you in advance.

Find the cause: If you have access to injectable iron, especially some of the new intravenous stuff, you can be near-well in a few days. If not, oral iron as tolerated. The fatigue precedes the anemia. It's unfortunate anyone suffers with this stuff. Try to find why you have it. It may be your monthly loss, your diet, pregancies, a bleeding ulcer, hookworm, or any of several other causes.
