Can't seem to get warm enough

I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, due to an allergic reaction to antibiotics, my ferritin was very low for months and I recently got 5 iron infusions, however I am still very cold. My red blood cell count went down also from this.

This has been going on for a year now, and I’m not able to work.

Is there anyone that can help me with this? Or refer me to a good doctor.

Thanks

Adam
