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!
