Anemia Headache

I got severe anemia. I start taking iron supplements after month of being diagnosed. I wasted a month after I was diagnosed. My problem is headaches I am having headaches. i use to have like 24 hours a day I use to take pain killers. but now once in 48hours or when I get upset. Problem is what I should take for headaches as I found out all painkillers are bad during Iron deficiency anemia.

You should consult your hematologist about that, but I would suspect that drugs like advil and aspirin will not cause you a problem.
