iron infusion

[fiftyone]

I hear bad stories about iron infusions and allergic reactions. What happens if you get an allergic reaction and once you recover, do you feel better for having had the iron infusion

Sorry can’t help you with your query as never need to add iron. I load iron and regularly need to have it removed via venesection. This a group for folk diagnosed with haemochromotosis an iron overload genetic disorder. Although we can become anemic if too much blood is removed it is not generally a problem enough to require infusions of iron.

Try searching again for anemia or the NHS website.

Hi. I’ve had a few but I’ve never experienced any problems. Hope it goes well.

People with haemachromatosis often need venesection treatment to reduce their iron levels. We have too much iron in our bodies.

If you need an iron infusion, you’re probably asking the wrong people.
