I've had several rounds of IV iron infusions, so many that I lost count a long time ago. I've never had any problems with them. Let me know if you have any questions!

I am just frustrated that I have let it get to this point. She didn't tell me where I am out in regards to the anemia like whether or not its screwing with my blood count or not. Needless to say did you find that you felt any better after having it done? at this point I bruise so easily etc. thank you for your comment I appreciate it greatly.

I've been pretty consistently anemic for almost 10 years now, and have been getting iron infusions as needed throughout that time. It seems my body just can't absorb iron that well. My hemoglobin is usually around 10 and I think my body has adjusted to it being at that level (which isn't that bad) but I can tell when it drops below 10 b/c I start to get tired, pale, etc. I bruise easily but I'm also on blood thinners so I think it's more related to that than anything ( ... )
