I haven't had much to add the last couple of months. Just been on the ever constant cycle of infusions. I had my last infusion in June. I decided that, despite the way iron pills affect me, I was going to find a 'gentle' iron and take it daily. I really wanted to prolong the time between infusions. Oh, the daily iron caused so much pain. I 'stomached' through it but I just don't do iron pills well. So, in July my doctor decides we should check my levels. My ferritin was down to about 10. So discouraging. I lost ferritin and iron more quickly that month. Well, I chucked the iron pills. Not worth it. I also put off my infusion a month. With a level of 10, I'm considered borderline and they are okay if I wait. So, had my infusion in August. In the meantime, my OB GYN and I have been discussing what to do about my period. Not sure my period is the cause of my iron-deficiency anemia but it can't be helping. A couple years ago, I mad
