Why can't I absorb iron?

I've been on iron therapy for around 5-6 years. My dose has steadily increased to around 585mg daily. That's 9 (65mg) pills a day of Ferrous Sulfate and it's still not enough. I take it with orange juice (for the vitamin C). I eat plenty of lean red meats and dark greens. Maybe I should start cooking my foods in an iron skillet. What else can I do?
