Struggling with Iron Deficiency and Bruising

My doc doubled my iron last month to try to get my levels back to normal but it hasn't been working and I've been bruising really bad on my legs the last week:/ anyone else go through this? Any suggestions? I also love taking epsom salt baths for my pain so if anyone has any recommendations for good pain relief bath salts or anything like that, please lmk! Sending love and spoons to everyone who needs them today!! ❤️

Do you take it with vitamin c? I take iron 3 times a day with 1000mg of c. Hoping it improves

What is your anemia condition? Has the new dose improved it? Maybe you have bruises on your legs because of low hemoglobin… If so, you may have a problem with iron absorption, or your body is losing iron.
