Iron Infusions, did you have any side effects?

I have had flu like symptoms after iron infusions also, both times they started 2-3 days after the infusion and lasted a few days. Very tired, achy, chills, one time I had a headache. My infusions were 4 months apart, 1.5 grams of iron in each. Just curious, are you getting Venofer or Monoferric? How much are they trying to give you at once?

in reply to @arla I was given Venofer. I am not sure how much I was given, but the entire infusion lasted about 2.5 hours. I appreciate the time you took to describe your experience. I feel better knowing that I was not imagining my symptoms.
