So, my iron level was critical. The lowest it is supposed to be is 12, mine was a 6, and then dropped down to a 5. So, of course, they made sure I got the infusion asap instead of waiting a week.
The first infusion went well… it wasn’t until a few days later my body seemed to be going thru the motions. TMI moment my cycle came 4 days ahead of schedule and then my whole body hurt. It was really Thursday when I couldn’t move without my whole body like nah we at war.
Luckily, after talking to someone, I realized I needed to call my hemtologist. It was a reaction to the large amount of iron being placed in my blood that was doing it. They would make sure round to, to give me meds to help. I have had low iron since I first got my cycle back in 7th grade. 🤦🏾♀️
What I have noticed so far is I don’t crave ices as much. I’m starting to sweat now. Normally, I’m always cold. I don’t crave sugar, which is a big deal for me too. Cuz if you know me, you know how me and sugar are bestie and I like things sweet.
Just got my second round today… that update will come soon. Surgery is looking more like September ish…
