Do people recover well after the infusions?
@cupofcoffee @richcat makes some excellent points. I was tired for a day or two after the vaccine but if that persists you should have it checked.
I had a condition where my hemoglobin was down to 17 and was told to get to the ER immediately. It was life-threatening I believe. My biggest symptom was that everything was an effort and I had to stop in the middle of the stairway to take a rest before going all the way from the 1st floor to the 2nd.
Don't take chances if you are that fatigued. Did the blood center tell you how low your iron was? It is not uncommon at all as we age to develop some level of anemia. I have it off and on, and I know a number of other people who are over 70 who do also. None of us though are extreme enough for our doctors to put us on iron, but I have no idea if our blood would be taken at a blood donation center.
