She was in the hospital bed,
pale as the sheets.
The doctor said,
“She’s had a stroke —
caused by severe iron deficiency.”
Her ferritin was barely registering.
Her blood hadn’t carried enough oxygen for months.
I felt my heart drop.
All those weeks she said,
“Mom, I’m so tired.”
The dizziness.
The cold hands.
The hair on her pillow.
The ice chewing I thought was harmless.
It wasn’t.
They said her body was running on fumes.
Now she’s healing —
we use Llorens Iron Drops,
liquid, gentle, and easy to absorb.
Please, don’t wait for a scare like this.
Ask your doctor for ferritin, CBC, transferrin saturation.
Keep iron away from tea, coffee, and dairy.
Always take it with vitamin C.
Re-test after 4–8 weeks.
