First iron Infusion of three today

Just had my iron infusion today at 1 it took almost 2 hours to complete took them 2 sticks to find a vein that made me sick until the needle was in then it passed I always get sick and clammy with IV’S and having labs drawn hate them both equally, but it has to be done so I reluctantly have it done go for my next two iron infusions on December 9th and December 16th then will be done for awhile hopefully until next year usually before having them again.

Are you anemic?

Yes, I am anemic and have Iron Anemia and Iron Malabsorption problems, so I have to get Iron Infusions to fix the problem I have taken Iron Pills, but they didn’t help or work at all just upset my stomach or gave me cramps.

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m glad you’re getting the care you need though.
