What no one told you about Iron infusions

[@laniakeas92]

It shouldn't be painful. A neeedle probably was pushing on the wall of your vein. That was the source of the pain. If you feel pain - ask doctor to fix the needle

[@ashweta21]

I’m 22. Felt no pain at all. I had 2 infusions on the same day one after the other. This happened last Friday . I’m all fine now 😊

I don't know where did u transfused but it's completely painless

[@kuroe-chan5190]

I go in Monday for my first one. 3 hrs…but with this Dr said I won’t have to come back for quite some time so I will take it. I can’t wait. Because of a surgery among other things I’m absorbing nothing sat of 4% and ferritin of 6. Hemp was tad low at 11 but not bad. Just ready to feel better

Thank you for this information. How can we get iron infusions

[@streetadventures]

Just got my fusion yesterday it was not painful at all but I do have a headache today which they told me could happen and this normal drinking lots of water and resting.

[@mcfluy4233]

Taking iron tablets sometimes makes people really constipated doing the IV infusion does this make you constipated? I hope I get an answer quickly because I have a family member who’s thinking about doing this but they’re concerned about the constipation

[@oatmilg]

nope

[@drmetroyt]

No constipation , iv iron goes directly into blood so no contact with gut so no constipation

[@mobilemodular5725]

I actually get dirrhea from the infusions. But i take injectefer. It's a 15 minute transfusion.

[@r.williams8725]

Try mega food iron pills. They made of all fruits and vegetables. And they don't cause constipation or stomach issues. I recommend it to anyone dealing with low iron issues.

[@danidavis3716]

Recently when I was in the hospital for something else, my iron was extremely low. I was given an infusion. I’m not sure what pain you’re referring to. They told me to let them know if I began having issues with breathing or my chest. I’m not sure what pain you’re referring to.

[@RecuperaciondeAtracones]

Hi! Do you know the root cause of your iron deficiency?

[@candacewashington4099]

Sometimes I have pain in my muscles. It can happen, not all the time though. I notice it with longer infusions, but everyone is different.

[@emsjen]

I had infusions in 2018 with zero issues. Fast forward to oct 2023, i have to do them again. The infusion had my whole arm in serious pain during the infusion. Even worse, i started not feeling well about 12 hours later. Didnt think much of it at first but at 24hrs i was SICK SICK. felt like a servere flu/food poisoning w/ fever and the worst migraine Ive had in YEARS. Im supposed to do this 5 more times. Calling the dr Monday, i cant deal with this every week.

[@RecuperaciondeAtracones]

I’m so sorry for the pain you’ve been through. Do you know the root cause of the iron deficiency?

[@emsjen]

@FreedomfromBingeEating no, I've been deficient in the past here and there, probably from a poor diet, but I had to have my spleen removed in 2013 so I think that's why I'm battling it frequently now. I actually had to have a port put in shortly after i left this comment because I wasn't able to get the rest of the infusions as none of the nurses could get a line on me... on 3 separate appointments. I haven't restarted the infusions yet, i hate feeling so crappy after

[@RecuperaciondeAtracones]

@@emsjen oh I see. I’m so sorry you have been through all of this, sincerely wishing you healing and feeling at peace soon 🙏🏼

People asking for medical advice as if asking for reviews of a mobile phone here in the comments. Please consult a qualified professional doctor instead of taking advice from random strangers in the comments.

[@SheilaAlbadawi]

i want to hear what people are saying after they did it not just what the doc says they won’t know how your gonna react

[@loving_lioness3518]

Sometimes it simply helps to hear out others, to get different perspectives on experiences...and learn new ideas so we can at that point seek professional help. I think it shows intelligence to try and research something that's new to you. Just because people are commenting and asking questions doesn't mean they're not also waiting for an upcoming doctors appt to seek a professional opinion. You don't know. 🤗

[@vrosalove]

I almost died yesterday in the hospital from iron transfusion! Sodium ferric gluconate, this is for people who need dialysis, not for anybody.😢😢😢

[@lakeyciaroberts1752]

I'm sorry to hear that. Glad that you're here with us. I'm nervous, I get my first one tomorrow.

[@Llkkg]

Omg

[@shalontehernandez6752]

I'm trulysorry about your experience. But this isn't just for people who are on dialysis. Some people have suckle cell anemia, severe iron deficiency to where they pass out experience pain, those who lose more blood than normal amongst other symptoms. I'm not taking away your experience it seems as though you've experienced an allergic reaction which would be shock from the infusion. But I wouldn't tell people it's for dialysis (which would be false) due to it would deter others from getting it that actually need it.

[@RecuperaciondeAtracones]

Hi! I’m so sorry you went through this painful experience! Do you know the root cause of your deficiency?
