Subject: Iron infusions questions

[Guest guest]

I am working on getting my second round of iron infusions. It is the only way to

get the iron in if you can't absorb it from pills, like me. In southern Ca it

runs about 15,000.00 for the approx 3 rounds of sitting with the IV needle in my

hand for a few hours at a time. It isn't a magic transformation to high energy

the minute you are finished with the last of the infusion, but it helps a lot.

When my ferritin level gets down to single digits, it is time to do it again.
