    I watched this video before my iron infusions and now that I've gotten 4, I just wanna share my experience for those nervous about it. It's as painful as getting an IV (so not bad at all imo). My side effects were dizziness and body aches. I was also really tired for a couple hours afterwards but recovered and felt normal quickly. Id recommend having someone drive you home the first session just in case you get dizziness or something else that might inhibit your driving. Honestly my anxiety about it was way worse than the actual infusion. You can do it guys! Just bring music or a book or something to do while you wait and you'll be okay

    My level is 6 . Been going on since last June taking iron daily 350mg . My IV was half dose Venefer . It was weird my first one . No pain for IV . I thought she gave me Benadryl as felt groggy. Nope no Benadryl . Next day I was hyper like fright and very talkative . 3rd day crashed . 4th day hyper again but didn’t accomplish anything . 5th I’m so darn tired and in bed all day. I hope it’s my last when I have my bloodwork in a month . This has been going on for over 6 years and finally find out it’s from taking Nexium and Magnesium since 2005 . Going off of Nexium isn’t fun as causes worse stomach acids and don’t recommend ever taking it for stomach issues. Keep you posted and hope I’m not immune to absorb iron from Nexium.

    they gave you a contraceptive and you got a breakthrough bleeding? That sounds like malpractice tbh To answer your question- I am not a doctor, I am patient with low ferritin and I will receive an infusion. Dont know about the hgb, but google said this: Hemoglobin levels of 6.5-7.9 g/dL can cause severe anemia, and levels below 6.5 g/dL can be life threatening. For me, my storage iron )ferritin) is empty while the over values are ok. I think you could consider; get an infuion through a hematalogist, have hemeiron supplement every second day, and possibly find a new doctor, document and treat the injuries and sue the doctor who caused internal bleeding. Much heeling to you

So I had to supplement that before iron infusion. Plus he injected Vit D, B12 and other vitamins. Did you have another low vitamins?

  • @Nika-xh1fc

    I know I’m not the doctor, but I know that PPI for acid reflux and other antacids can effect iron absorption. Also foods high in fiber, such as oatmeal. Other things such as caffeine, chocolate can effect iron absorption as well. That’s why they suggest separating the time btw when you take iron & when you eat other foods and take certain medications. Also, try taking orange juice or chewable vitamin C with your iron, it helps it to absorb better
