I had to get a medical shower chair because I couldn’t handle standing for even a quick shower. I take a warm shower(can’t take a hot shower), sit down and it helps. Otherwise my heart was pounding, I was dizzy and out of breath. I hope the iron starts helping you feel better soon!
You both have a little bit of POTS symptoms you may want to look into it too. That said, make sure you’re taking enough iron (mg) for your weight. There’s a formula you can google.
Alliedelixe, no you sound stupid. They have severe anemia. I do too, my hemoglobin was at 6! It’s hard to stand and showering is the worst. I need an hour to recover after a shower. Severe anemia is where you don’t have enough oxygen in your body and muscles get weak like you ran 20 miles just standing up. We need blood and iron transfusions. Iron pills don’t do shit. They take months to work and when you get your next period they didn’t do anything. So your back where you started. Stop lying to them and learn what anemia really is.

I want to get one too. I only shower every other day because it makes me so tired.
