What was your iron when you first started having problems? Do have any prior test results to compare?

I would also consider possible bleeding somewhere. That's the most common way to loose iron is through blood loss like an ulcer, your periods, etc.

John would get headaches with low HGB also.

I too would get retested. I know I sound like a broken record, but make sure they checked your B12 and folate also.
