CW: discussion of IV infusions/iron deficiency

Have any of you ever had IV iron infusions? I’ve had on and off iron deficiency anemia all of my adult life, but after my autoimmune diagnosis, my ferritin started plummeting even with supplementation.

It’s been well over a year that I’ve been fighting with all my doctors to get me an iron infusion covered by Alberta Health and my GI specialist is finally helping me do it!!!

I’ve been prescribed Monoferric iron — a one time infusion, instead of the traditional infusion that requires multiple long visits. This helps accommodate my energy limitations and neurodivergence. Sitting for a 2-3 hour IV infusion takes *a lot* out of me so a one time 30 minute infusion is compassionate care.

Have you had a Monoferric iron infusion? Pls tell me about it!

"..many of the women he has treated – more than 3,000 to date – are able to come off medication they have previously been prescribed for anxiety and depression as a direct result of their iron infusion. It makes me wonder how many women with poor mental health are simply in need of some iron"
