And/Or you can get a milti-vitamin with extra Iron. (Like One-A-Day Iron plus, or whatever.. Lol. ) Good Luck =) Jamslam67 Posted at 5:31 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 yes you have higher risk because of your period and i think it fucks up your bones insane punk Posted at 5:31 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 i did tell my dad and he just looked at me and said...ok? and went back to watching tv..and im not in school yet... Lihiro Posted at 5:31 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 Go to the doctor if you're too worried...? Anaemia can be a serious thing. isobel Posted at 5:30 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 Headaches, dizziness, passing out and fatigue can be signs of iron deficiency. But even if they weren't, you should definitely see a doctor, it could be something far more serious than that. utheh Posted at 5:30 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 If you think you may honestly have a problem talk to your parents or a school nurse and see if you can get a doctors appointment set up.
