so my iron is at 3% 

and they are talking about infusions soon which I am all for as I'm tired i am doing shots of B12 and liquid B12 daily -whether or not its related im having memory problems-I am 40.

I am very fatigued and 

I have boughts of my abdomen swelling and being in intense pain.  when at the hospital the ct scan showed that my small intestines are backing up (not large intestines)

when i did an upper GI the barium when through in 5 mins- which is insane as the day before the ct showed me being backed up

anyone been through this and what did they do?

seattle is talking to me tomorrow about a revision. thoughts?

thanks --any questions i should ask?

A revision to what and why?

Iron deficiencies are very common and easily remedied by infusions.
