Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

Get her to a Hematologist. They will be the best to treat the low iron. I have had two infusions of iron so far. Had the second one 1 week ago. Feeling fairly good right now. Have to do another blood test the end of April and hopefully the iron level will be close to normal. I saw where one person on here said they were scheduled to have 5 infusions. My infusion is called Infed.

I am sitting in infusion room, receiving my 3rd infusion of iron. 500 each session. After 2nd one, could hardly walk after infusion. My GP decided I should go every other week. So today length of the delivery time to 4+ hours with added saline. Doctor said if side effects persists after this will reconsider dose amount. The nurses say 300 is usual. Currently my ferritin is at 9, (was12 in 2010) have erosive lichen planus orally and vaginally. Hair has started to fall out. Tried pill and liquid to no effect. So hope 5 is a charm!
