I have low iron for some yet undiscovered reason, RBCs and Hemo are normal. I am to take a 100mg tab of iron sulphate a day. Perhaps steroids are the cause of these labs? The RBCs should be at least high normal with the roids, the steroids are probably keeping them normal despite low iron?
They will check for internal bleeding but I've had this low iron for years. I was told IV iron drip has been phased out for some reasonn so it's tabs now, which one doc said messes with your stomach.
