Iron supplement making me nauseous (at least that is what I think is causing it) any advice?

I took Vitron C for months and it didn't help my iron numbers. (I think I just read what your husband bought wrong-maybe you are just taking iron with vitamin C in addition-can't go back and check without risking losing my post). In fact they continued to decline. I did have an infusion a couple of weeks ago and have had new labs run. Will get the results on Thursday. I am anxiously awaiting them, but can tell you I feel much better already. I'm hopeful this will keep me going for a year and I am going to do try the patch iron after I talk to the hematologist. The oral iron (65 mg stuff like you were taking) just killed my stomach. I was having all kinds of issues with that this past month or two. I will report back on the infusion results. How long are they going to make you wait before they will proceed with an infusion? It was a lengthy process since I opted to do it in a one-shot deal and it took 6-1/2 hours to infuse the dose, but I am glad I did it and pushed to get it done sooner than later. I had waited long enough. Hope this new stuff works for you and stops the stomach problems.

Thanks Cory! Yeah, he got carbonyl with C but I am adding extra Vit C since it didn't have what was recommended here. I am glad that you are already feeling better. The nurse sent me a lab slip so I will get blood drawn later this week and then I meet with my surgeon next month so I will know more then.

My ferritin went up 12 points in 8 weeks with the patch. Good luck with the new iron

That's awesome!
