My blood is brown... when I ge hurt.?

Let me start off by saying Its not a period thing. I have went to my pediatrician and she put me on iron saying my iron level was way lower than normal and that's why it was brown. I have taken the pills for over a year now and it's still a brown color. As a child I ate a lot of plastic I think I was poisoned by it or something. I have very bad stomach issues every time I eat it comes up or goes out very fast. My body is constantly bloated and hurting. I have episodes where I shake and fall down or I stop breathing and faint I'm conscious the whole time. I have tried to tell doctors what's going on but nobody listens saying it's a teenager thing. I fell like I might die from this whatever it may be and nobody listens to me.

    Well, it's clearly not a teenager thing at all. So either your doctors are lying to you, they're incompetent, or there's a part of this story we're just not hearing from you.

    How are your iron levels, have they come up? You have to get the levels of iron, hemoglobin and other things checked, just taking the pills isn't enough because your body might not be absorbing the iron or might not be putting it into your blood cells. You need to see an internist and get an accurate diagnosis. Your symptoms, if you described them accurately, are very alarming.

    Have you been checked for liver or kidney disease?
