So based on my appt at the doc I may have to start getting iron infusions depending on my lab results. Anyone get these? What should I expect?

    Heya, it's super easy but time consuming. Expect to be there for at least an hour, so sit back and relax. I've heard there are side effects but never experienced them myself. I've always had low iron and never feel the "boost" you apparently should; feel the same all the time .

    @buxombrunette Thank you for letting me know. My iron is still low and copper is still high per repeat bloodwork I had done last week. Right now my doctor is having me take prescription iron plus c twice a day in addition to prescription zinc sulfate twice a day. I have to repeat my labs the first week of December. Fingers crossed I can get my labs stabilized by then
