poop
Ive been anemic for awhile now, and taking more iron hasnt worked. yesterday i went to see the hematologist, and today I went in for an iron infusion. its quite common to have a serious allergic reaction to the iron they give you, so they give you a test dose, and stay with you to make sure you dont go into Anaphylactic shock. it took about a min, maybe less for me to react :( my chest got all tight, i couldnt breathe, and my vision blurred. it was quite scary, but the nurses quickly gave me benadryl and something else trhu my iv and in 10 min i could breathe easier. So now im waiting for the dr to call me with an appointment to get a different treatment. This one is still iv, but it only takes a couple of hours verses the 6 or so the one i went in for today would have taken. BUT Ill have to get them more often :/
