I am a 17 year old teenage girl with an iron deficiency. I noticed that I can?t lose weight whatever I do, I play track and eat healthy but my weight won?t budge. I was wondering if my iron deficiency is linked to that? And will I get better after the first iron infusion? As in my body will start functioning the way it should be?
