Hello, Ruby! How are you doing? Has there been any change?

Yes, these infusions are very well known to cause such side effects, but it is always best to inform your doctor to be sure. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and joint pain.

Hi how long do the side effects last? I'm just two weeks from my first ferritin infusion (the newer type of iron infusion where it is transfused over 15-20 minues) and I have been having bad days and even worse days since. I'm extremely fatigued, vague, joint pain, chills etc. is this due to the iron or just a virus with bad timing? And if it is the iron how long does this last?

I am some better. The cramping has lessened, but I still have the diarrhea after eating or drinking anything.
Thanks for the reply. I have a call into my doctor, but it takes forever to get a reply from them.
