Just another quick reply. After having an upper endoscope, they found esophogitis and a hiatal hernia. There is a possibility that that is causing the anemia. They want to do another colonoscopy though just to rule out anything else.

I had that bad infusion a couple months ago. A month later my ferritin levels were at 40 or so so no infusion needed. One month later, they are down to 19. I have another check in a month to see if I need another infusion with another type of iron. I am just dropping iron quickly it seems. Would love to hear some other updates from the folks that have posted on this thread.

Hi, I am having my first iron infusion on Monday Dec 24, my level is at 5 right now, dr is concern, so I will have this done for the next few weeks, I am worried about being so tired since I am flying to DR on Tuesday Dec 25, not sure how I will feel on my vacation, kind of worried after reading some of the post here. Due to my anemia I have developed PICA, I would eat at least two cups of uncooked brown rice, and it is so satisfying to me. I am hoping this craving goes away once my iron level goes up. will post my updates
