Omg I can see the difference! You’re eyes are much brighter. I’m so happy the Infusion helped you 🥰

I’ve been anemic since I was 12. I was later diagnosed with Chronic Anemia. I had several uterine surgeries to help with excessive monthly blood loss and am at the point where a Hematologist was recommended. After my first appt she suggested an Iron Infusion. I am 40 and am very nervous only because of the possible side effects. However, I am ready after seeing your transformation from the beginning of the video to the end. My Infusion is on Monday. Thank you for posting this. It’s helped a lot!

OMG! Just had my first infusion on three days ago and my entire body is still aching. I thought it was related but wasn't entirely sure. now, i'm certain. Thanks for adding that part.

I had my first three days ago.I also felt real bad two hours after and the next two days. Shaking, nauseous, dizzy, achy muscles all over, freezing cold. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Hope I look and feel as good as you! Fabulous darling! ✌️✌️✌️🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊

You are stunning!

Omg so cool to see someone with P.O.T.S like myself. I have to get an iron infusion Monday and I’m kinda scared 😩 the entire time I thought it was just my P.O.T.S making me extra tired and dizzy but it’s my iron as well lol cool video

You do look healthy and happy. I give blood frequently, and some people who give blood can't rejuvenate iron fast enough so they need supplements. I believe I am one of those people, and luckily don't need transfusions or infusion. Blood transfusion is a lot more involved. Iron will help me have more energy, I believe. I have been slightly low at my last donation, but was high enough to donation. For a couple of months, I haven't been motivated to do much with low energy and low iron could be the cause.

Glad for you that you’re feeling better. I’m going next week for iron infusion and hopefully I will feel better. Thank you

Thank you for the video. I was hospitalized on March 12th 2022 for one week. With three bleeding stomach ulcers, My hemoglobin was 4.7. after three units of blood [ blood transfusion ] count was 7.4 Had surgery to remove the ulcers. Today had first follow up Hemoglobin is still low at less then 9 talking about having a iron infusion done to help. your video helped.

Thank you. Very helpful

Very common to feel like hell after, for me it wasn't aches but I was completely heat intolerant, having hot flashes, dizzy etc.- too bad the freaking doctors didn't tell me that! They said oh it'll help right away, no side effects. Huh? IV iron definitely has side effects and even if you don't experience any, you don't feel better instantly because your body needs time to process the iron. How much did they give you? Giving smaller doses further apart really helps curb side effects from what I know. I used to feel worse once they did too much at once (200 mg over an hour) but I now do it over 2 hours cause it makes me feel less sick. The first week after is always the worst for me. We are too young to go through this. Stay strong girl

I also woke up like I had the flu. So glad I’m not crazy. Thanks for the info. I have 3 infusions in 3 days, so ouch!!!!

PS...Your dog Piper is so cute and precious. She wanted to play. 😆💕😆

Thank you for the information. Just to let you know that you are beautiful.

I had a second infusion and seen the first three days I feel achy and nauseated , had to drink plenty of fluids and pedialyte, it’s no joke when you g the side affects

girl I know how you feel. I have had severe iron deficiency anaemia since I was 15, but didn't know until I was 17 where my ferritin levels went into negatives, and my hemoglobin was very low. Since then I've had iron infusions yearly (I'm 22 now), but more recently it's gotten worse. I found out that my body is actually physically unable to store iron, and as such supplements and/or eating red meat etc won't ever do anything for me because there's no way for my body to absorb it. My Dr recently said it isn't going to get better and the only thing I can do is get infusions once to twice a year for the rest of my life, because it depletes so quickly (my last infusion earlier this year barely lasted 7 months before it dropped again). I know the achy shaky feeling you're talking about that you get afterwards :(
