Re: best way to get iron IV

[Guest guest]

Do your iron levels come up alot quicker this way and how fast? I mean how far

into should you get another ferritin level done?

I am also interested in doing it this way as opposed to pill form since I have

enough GI problems.

Thanks, Christie

I know that if you have too much iron in the blood the only way to remove it is

give blood. That happened to me one time. Now I didn't get my iron levels done

only my Ferritin so I'm not sure if I should wait to see what my blood levels

are before I get the IV's even though my ferritin is 31. Can my blood levels be

high and I'm having a problem storing it. Can that be possible?

I recently had my iron/ferritin tested. It had been a month since my iron

infusion. After one infusion my ferritin went from 8 to 126!!! Needless to say

I believe infusions are the way to go.
