Struggling with Synthroid and Iron Supplements

Hi! I’ve recently been put on Synthroid, and also iron supplements. My iron levels are critically low right now. I have a hard time standing up for long periods of time, and I get extremely lightheaded and overheated so quickly. Is this a problem for anyone else? Are there any ways to make it less severe, or do I just need to wait until it all levels out?

Ask about getting the iron infusion!! I was taking iron pills for years but it never seemed to work and it made me nauseous. My doctor said you get the infusion once every 1-2 years depending on how long your levels stay at a decent amount and you go back and get them checked every few months. It’s helped me so much!
