I get rounds or iron shots to keep it at a decent level.
But if you suspect anemia its worth getting it checked. Also not all low iron is anemia either. It's quite a vast area. If you get the blood tests done and do have anemia and know the source then you can choose appropriate treatment weather that is with a medical doctor, natural dr or whatever you choose. But without that knowledge it would be hard to treat anything.

I'm almost positive it's from nutritional deficiencies of some kind. I'm a little underweight, and my diet isn't very diverse.
As for doctors, health care professionals, etc? I just can't afford any kind of medical help, even if I wanted it.
