Id recommend having someone drive you home the first session just in case you get dizziness or something else that might inhibit your driving.

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

Going on my third infusion with venofer due to fibroids and only good results for me so far. I felt fine after receiving the two infusions. No immediate side effects. I did have some muscle aches intermittently between the two sessions but my energy level has increased by at least 50%.
Same here! I started with venefer which I had no reaction to, then switched to injectefer. I didn't notice any difference but the energy levels are booming. I feel like a real boy again lol. Now to get the blood levels up.
So interesting. They served me tea at the infusion center..smh. I had my first of a series of 5 iron infusions last week. I actually felt good directly afterwards but got groggy by the end of the day. The next day I felt TERRIBLE. I was walking slower and had aches so bad...and a HEADACHE. since my infusion I also cannot sleep more than 4 hours a night as opposed to 8. I do notice leS Brain fog...and more clarity...but it's been 3 days and my body is still aching.
@Penny tjats pretty normal. Mine lasted three days. Don't be scared Penny.
how is it
Yes, how are you now? Mine really helped me.
I had an infusion 3 days ago I have bad body aches.
@@Jade-sz9bo I got it a month ago , I got a fever for 2 days and hot and cold flashes my stomach was hurting as well
Great video, thank you. I just put the link to why 1 &1/2 to 2 days after my infusion, I felt like I had a head cold & body aches (more so than normal). Something the doc or nurse didn't tell me about. It's been a week now & I'm starting to feel a bit better, slightly more energy. But now, worse sleep than before, thought it couldnt get more worse (used to wake up more tired, now bad), insomnia has gotten worse 🤔
I can't sleep either. Omg
@epicgoddess920 glad it's nit just me. Had a follow up blood test yesterday to see if iron levels have improved. Fingers are cross it made a difference. But I'm still constantly tired, so not holding my breath
@livingpure9137 I've been In bed all morning. I've only had one infusion....but I have 4 more to go. This is bad.
@epicgoddess920 oh gosh ( sorry for my late response). I hope you are feeling better. I had my blood test & my Iron has improved, but into acceptable range, but I'm still tired. My doc doesn't seen to care though. She just sees good numbers.
@epicgoddess920 I hope you have had another infusion now & and hopefully, you start feeling somewhat better. I don't really know of any alternatives if you are not improving.
I take infusion of iron, a year ago and my anxiety gets much beter. No side efects Very good
Thank you for this informative video. I had my iron infusion 36 hours ago, and feel awful right now. But I know it will pass. My symptoms of iron deficiency anemia were fatigue, brain fog, couldn’t concentrate, breathless on exertion, tongue swelling, restless legs and arms, constantly getting sick… It can only get better. Thank you doctor.
Hi, Do you mind if I ask if you had any autoimmune, Thyroid issues?
How are you doing now?
@@RunningPure sorry for the late reply, I did have inflammation markers but they couldn't find definite autoimmune disorder. I have problems with extremely dry mouth and eyes and tongue swelling - the iron and vitamin symptoms helped so much. I haven't investigated further. In the UK, the GP does TSH for thyroid unless you pay for other tests.
@@blairmackenzie898 sorry for late reply.i feel so much better. I can actually run twice a week now and get up in the morning. Thank you for asking.
May I ask how long it took for you to ‘feel it’. I had my first infusion 24hrs ago.
I've gotten 6 treatments, One treatment once a week. My RBC count is high , while My MCV and MCH is very low . I'm on month 2 now without treatment. What would cause this?
Same
No evidence of blood lose present.
Between the iron infusion there was a blood transfusion with no complications.
I had two iron infusions in two days because of my hemoglobin (6.6) After each event both hands and lower arms swelled up . Why?
Has you hemoglobin increase
@@thandokazibooi9631 it is 10 at last read. There is no active bleeding that they have found as yet. Talking scope between upper and colon.
@@vivianmoreland797 I see it is in a space of 1 month ?
@@thandokazibooi9631 the infusions were within 3 days along with the blood transfusion.
So how are you now? Did the transfusion and infusion work?
Does having an infusion cause weight gain
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
Exact symptoms that I had for 2 days. I couldn’t have driven home. In fact I slept for 15 hours the first day. All that has gone by the 3rd and 4th day. Xx
Thanks
Thank you. I just listened to a doctor and it scared me. He said the after affects were worse than having low iron
I thought so!
Thanks. But I wish people would talk about the long term affects of infusions. Not good. No one talks about it
With ferinject 500 mg infusion, i got bad joint and muscle pains. I am in 1 week after and knee pain is too bad, how long could it lasts doctor?
I had joint and what felt like bone pain for 2 days and it passed. Are you ok now?
Very important information I just put my headphones on try to redo it but fix the volume for those who couldn't hear this information like myself
What is going on with your volume
My feritin level is now 13. I've had whipple surgery in 2011 and this is now the 2nd time my feritin level has crashed...
Didn't understand a word. Poor sound.
I want to appreciate #Drijogbe on KZread who cured my herpes simplex virus with his natural herbs supplements which I got from him after I contacted him on his channel
Which medicines interfere with iron absorption?
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
@@Nika-xh1fc hello, could severe anemia (ferritin 4.5) be caused by intake of 500 mg of Aspirin every 26 days?
@@Anna-zg7lp too much aspirin can cause your stomach to bleed/ulcers. You should check with your doctor especially a gastrologist to make sure you’re not bleeding from the stomach or anywhere else.
Are you supplementing with iron?
@@Nika-xh1fc thank you! I have been supplementing with iron for a year, but my ferritin level only dropped from 18 to 4.5. Also I had severe constipation while taking tablets. So hematologic proscribed me an infusion of Monofer - 800 mg. I should have it tomorrow. But I don't know what is the cause of my anemia. Yes, I will have stool test check for blood. But I had gastroscopy previously, and they found nothing expect high acid level.
Hi doctor, my hemoglobin is 10 , 37 weeks pregnancy, is it necessary to do iron infusion!???
I would have said yes. We’re you OK?
thx but the low audio + your soft voice + your accent = HUH?
Australian accent 🙂
I've always battled with low iron levels I'm due to do the procedure tomorrow, Wednesday, 23 March 2022. Just out of curiosity, is there any link between low iron levels and lack of concentration or feeling confused? I suspect there is.
Yes, it is certainly a common symptom. I often get brain fog when iron levels are low. I hope your infusion goes well and that you feel better soon.
@@ancanitulescu46 I did the infusion earlier today, and all went well. I can't wait for the energy surge, apparently in 24 hours!
Very possible. But u should see a neurologist to rule out any other causes of your confusion.
Absolutely it’s one of the most common symptoms of anemia I’m feeling so confused Lately bc of low iron
Definitely
Hello dr if I took one intravenous iron and I can go back to the iron pills or must to end the whole treatment or they can work together both pills and intravenous iron I hope you can see my comment and answer thank you God bless you.
