PA and my first iron infusion

Hi all,I had my first iron infusion on Tuesday. I'll have one a week for 10 weeks. They gave me IV benadryl before infusion started to combat any reactions. I did fine, but sleepy the rest of the day. I really was happy to finally get the first one out of the way. Today I woke up feeling very anxious. I read that my body needs to get use to the added iron/energy in my system. Man, I hope this doesn't last long. Anyone here had such anxiety a few days after iton infusion?

Never had one before. Just wanted to say that I'm glad you're getting treatment.

I'm sure someone will be able to answer your question - and hopefully put your mind at rest.

Best wishes, Wowo !
