Yes. My iron was so low before I was diagnosed over 4 years ago that when the infusions didn't work quickly enough I had to have two blood transfusions before biopsy. Since then I have been on iron tablets. They took me off them for about a year and it depleted again so I ended up with an infusion and have been oniron tablets every day since. Only one daily now for about a year, seems to be working, though in my last bloods it appears B12 is low now.
Yes, I have PBC and I have had iron infusion. I have low iron, low vit D, low blood pressure, underactive thyroid. I have not had my b12 checked.
