For those of you who have had this issue and haven't mentioned it, what was your recovery time? Was it "only" a short time and your FE and HGB went back to normal and did you have any treatment (I noticed a couple received blood). Thank you for your feedback. So glad to find I'm not crazy as the medical community is not taking this side effect seriously.

Not a short time. I am almost 6 months into recovery. Very slow process. Treatment is -Iron ferrous gluconate 27mg x3 a day, vitamin D , C and super B , going for second follow up in two weeks. Hemoglobin was much better after three months , iron was still low , I was still anemic , red blood counts still out of limits , looking forward to next review. It is unclear if this will become chronic or be one and done !!!!
