    Blood Clots
    Im a 18 year old college student and I found out not too long ago that I was animec. I was told to take iron pills yet I just couldn't take them because I'm not much of a pill taker. Lately my periods have became heavier and I have blood clots more often and definitely bigger than I have before. Is this because of me being animec or should I go to the doctor and ask them for there input. I have been feeling a lot weaker and sometime lightheaded.

    The iron pills are what are causing the blood clots, and increased iron compared to men is what causes women to have periods like we do. Maybe your're taking too much iron?? I'd go to the doctor just to be safe especially if you feel weak and light headed that could be a sign of another problem.
    I'm curious how old is the college that you're at? Maybe have the doctor look in to doing a heavy metals test on your blood... you could have lead poisioning that was overlooked (but lead paint is rare in newer buildings). Just an idea.

    Hope you feel better.
