What is the best way to find out if I am iron deficent?

So I am wondering how to find out the best way to test if I am lacking iron, as I have trouble with RLS from withdrawls. I am on day 3 from Norco and I began a health diet and would like to begin supplements that will encourage my dopenie to return w/out the pain meds.

i was  some years ago a little bit low in Iron... blood test to check it and eat red meats and all the green leaves that sara has told you... lentils too are a great source but you need taking vitamin C when you eat the vegs so this iron is assimilated ... an orange juice after the meals is good here , with the iron from animals is not needed...

You can have a blood test done and that will show if you are.  Are you cold alot?  I know that iron helps regulate our body temp.
