IV IRON

I ended up googlng iv iron side effects and lots of people say they have felt awful for weeks after an infusion. I wasn't expecting to feel like the duracell bunny but I certainly never thought I would feel like this.

Iron infusion

There is some lethargy she says and a while ago a GP suggested that if she struggles to take iron tablets (which she does - but still have completed few courses) then she might benefit from an iron infusion.

Iron Levels

The whole point of phlebotomy is to make you iron-deficient without anemia. Less iron = Less RBCs Unfortunately, iron deficiency can have adverse effects. The iron deficiency symptoms got worse than the PV symptoms, That is why I started on Pegasys. Later switched to Besremi.

Excess iron in the brain contributes to neurodegeneration. How do we reduce this? Iron chelator? Oxalates?

An important avenue to reduce iron accumulation is the use of iron chelators that are able to cross the blood–brain barrier, penetrate cells, and reduce excessive iron accumulation, thereby affording neuroprotection.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC5672917/

Low ferritin & Hypothyroidism

Low ferritin & Hypothyroidism Has anyone sufficiently raised their iron levels through diet alone? I have heavy periods and am struggling to raise my iron levels, no sooner to they go up a little they bounce back down again. Iron supplements tend to upset my tummy and make me feel more drained.

Peritoneal endometriosis?

This condition has been linked to iron overload so it would be interesting to see if anyone who has this also has problems with their iron levels. Thanks xx

Ferritin level 33

She said I cannot get an iron infusion because insurance co. don't cover it for rls. She told me to increase iron and vit. C to twice a day. I can't imagine this will raise the ferritin level that much. What do you think?

When to take iron

Is it OK then to take iron at the same time I take my RLS medicine, which at this time is still ropinerole, before bed? I looked up interactions between iron and ropinerole and I did not find any, but wanted to know if anyone has taken the iron at the same time as the ropinerole?

Supplements

My Iron is also low but this is inconsistent as sometimes it can be within range, I'm waiting for an appointment for Iron tests. Does anyone know of any good Iron supplement that is easy on the digestive system as I'm already always constipated.
