Re: My Doctor Wants to Put me on Synthroid.../Iron injections

Intramuscular iron injections have a higher rate of adverse effects than IVs do. " Intramuscular iron injections are generally not recommended because they are painful and there is a risk of muscle hematoma52,64,65. Several other local side effects, such as lipomyodystrophy66 and the occurrence of sarcomas at the injection site67, are reported in the literature. Therefore, if intensification of iron therapy is required, intravenous administration should be preferred."fromhttp://www.nature.com/ki/journal/v55/n69s/full/4490854a.html(This happens to be a kidney-related website, as dialysis patients need treatment for low iron, too).> >> > Your biggest problem seems ot be the low ferritin.

hmmmm....that does make it seem like IV would be better. are you going to try the Lactoferrin? I read up on it and it sounds like it could be very helpful. I read that there was a study that showed that taking Lactoferrin alone, worked better then taking iron supplements, in getting iron levels up! i'm very interested in trying it...
