How long does it take to cure anemia with assistance of iron supplement?

Q. I have iron-deficiency anemia, my iron level is dangerously low (it's 8.5 and average is between 40-200), yesterday I went to the doctor and she gave me some special iron pills and told me to take them twice a day. With my current condition and taking these pills twice a day (with vitamin C pills), how long do you think it will take for my iron count to go up and my anemia symptoms to begin disappearing?

Thanks! :)

A. usually your blood test will be repeated in 2 to 6 months. you should start to see an improvement slowly over the next weeks and months.

Is there a limit at how much Vitamin C is actually useful?
Q. Im asking because I am sick so my friend gave me Emergen-C that has about 1,600% of your daily vitamin C.
I don't believe you can overdose on Vitamin C, but does your body keep absorbing Vitamin C? Or after like say a few hundred percent does your body just ignore the rest?

A. Although it is rare, vitamin C overdose is possible. Some symptoms include upset stomach & nausea. It can also sometimes cause kidney stones & copper deficiencies


Can i have improvement in my speech through better nutrition?
Q. I noticed when i started taking 65 mg of iron, it became easier for me to pronounce words and i had less soreness. I did some research online and found out that iron deficiency leads to inflammation of the tongue, nose, and face. This was consistent with the symptoms i had before and i don't have them as much anymore. Is there anything else i can do nutrition wise to improve my speech and reduce inflammation? I just bought new supplements with iron and vitamin c combined together.

A.
