hello beautiful!! I suffer from severe anemia and a very heavy and long periods. I would recommend taking a victim C Pill and an Iron pill. That will help boost your body’s iron count which helps with the production of hemoglobin! Hopes this help, and if it doesn’t get better you might have to look at a more long term solution, ex IUD/implant birth control

I without fail have like one day of my period now where I have a shitty headache like all day. Literally never used to happen to me until I started experiencing anemia

Hey queen 👸 I’ve been taking those for about a month now and I’ve seen slight improvement for bruising, but I’m still often cold and slightly dizzy. Should I take extra on my period, or continue vitamin C + iron pill every day? It’s okay if you don’t know

Yes!! Preferably on an empty stomach if you can! I’d also reccomend eating whole foods and more green leafy veggies

They’ve gotten somewhat better since I started taking my supplements and changing my diet but it still definitely takes me out from time to time 🥲
