    Help Me Please!!!

    Hi, try Spatone. Was recommended to me by my health visitor following birth of No.1 Son. It's sachets of iron rich water which you can add to a glass of orange (vit c helps you absorb iron) - one a day It helped me get rid of my anaemia and doesn't have some of the nasty side affects like some...

    No energy

    My experience has been up & down on cd. Some days I feel on top of the world, like I could climb a mountain & other days I feel absolutely knackered, like I can barely get out of bed. Just keep going with the cd but rest when you can & look after yourself. You'll get through this.
