I personally would stay away from anyone who suggests that you supplement with iron pills.
And if you have been a vegetarian for 8 years, you may already be seeing an alternative sort of health professional.... I would suggest that you consult with them before you get all kinds of pharmaceutic-directed advice from your allopathic-type physician.
All the best!

Do you have symptons of general weakness and fatigue, loss of concentration, or just a general malaise?
The first thing comes to my mind at the mentioning of 8 years is iron deficiency.
There are two nutrients vegetarians usually have problems with, iron and B12, because the sources of them, espeically for B12, are primarily meat based.
It takes about 3 to 4 years for B12 to deplete and "7 to 8" years for iron to deplete if those two are not properly replenished.
Another sign of severe anemia is pale skin, but sometimes very difficult to see and tale.
The best way to to get a blood test screening for those two, and ask for a complete test. It doesn't really cost that much additionally.
By the way, B12 deficiency is often misdiagnosed with iron deficiency because those two complementary each other. B12 is very important for neurological functions.

sometimes we lose weight because we're more active than what we were before. doesnt have anything to do with food sometimes. perhaps you just need a simple physcical at your doctor's. check that thyroid. that is the biggest sneakest culprit when it comes to 'weird' symptoms that women kind of over look. one of them is unexplained weightloss.

You could have undiagnosed diabetes. I'd suggest you see an Internal Medicine doctor asap.
