Hi.I had my second Pfizer vaccine in January 2022.I was just recovering from anemia from celiac disease at the time and then my anemia got worse from the vaccine.After taking Feramax for 1.5 years with no improvement,I had two iron infusions over two weeks ago.I am still as exhausted as ever.Is this normal?

Hi @funklemonde, Maybe your iron level is still low or you have an iron deficiency. Here is some information on the topic.

Have you talked to your doctor about still being exhausted?

Hopefully you feel better soon! Have they done any bloodwork to see where you are at? It takes awhile for your body to use the newly replenished iron stores and see an increase in your hemoglobin levels. I had an iron infusion, 1 month later my hemoglobin had increased, 2 months later it had increased once again. Unfortunately, in my case, at the 3 month mark hemoglobin started to decrease again and I’m slated for another infusion.
