Iron Infusions Anyone??????

going to have to start iron infusions. real nervous. anyone had then done? what were your side effects? do you feel better? have more energy? able to stop eating for that pick-me-up during the day? Any advise would be great. Thanks so much.

My surgery date was 12/3/03. I have had 3 rounds of iron infusions to date. I am getting ready for one in about 8 weeks. It's quite a merry go around. I had a hemoglobin of 6.2 when they started them about 18 months ago. They are difficult on your stomache but so many symptoms went away that the side effects were minor. Raging PMS was the major issue after the iron. Breast pain, ovarian pain excruciating. Doctor prescribed effexor and in less than 14 days the pain lessened. I am told each person is different. Good Luck

Yes, contact me or post if you still need help, I had 10!
