When my iron count is down that is how I feel. I try to eat lots of beets, green leafy vegies, and nuts and I would feel better in a day or so. I do not take the procrit shots its a personal reason of mine. You may want to research taking the iron supplement as I have read it maybe bad for the liver in us cancer patients. I don't have time to look it up tonight but I have stayed away from taking this supplement. Also my supplement consultant advised against it. hugs, Sandy
