Hating getting iron infusions

I hate getting iron infusions because of afraid of gaining weight already am obese or overweight and gaining weight isn’t something to look forward too I have three upcoming iron infusions yay being sarcastic of course really wish I didn’t have to have them I feel the same way after getting them low energy or no energy at all and tired all the time but I attribute that to having sleep apnea making me tired all the time and anemia plus iron anemia and I am on psych medication that also drains me and makes me tired all the time I have to push myself to get out of bed to even go to the gym is a chore also hate having labs drawn I get all clammy and sick to my stomach funny feeling I can’t explain and having an IV put in for iron is worse than giving blood I just have to grit my teeth and bear it even though it’s something I hate doing sometimes it’s for the best even if I don’t see it that way.

I don’t like getting medical procedures because I feel like an object. Good luck with everything.

Yes me too If I had a choice I would choose not to get them even though it would go against Drs orders sometimes What drs want isnt always the best choice
