Hey all - thanks so much for your responses!

(((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))

I would go eat more red meat etc but living in residence seems to be the main cause of my anemia. I could eat the residence food (cafeteria) but no good meat there - just a lot of sodium, fat, and preservatives. I can't exactly do a lot of cooking in my kitchen either (I currently have a stove top and microwave). Basically, my anemia is because my diet sucks, my diet sucks because I can't cook)

Desperado - that made me sad. I love my caffeine, it's almost a necessity for university! I'll remember to watch when I drink it though.

Anyone get weird side effects because of iron pills? I've got something happening that wasn't there before, and wondering if its because of the iron... (Don't want to say here, because it's too embarassing)
