Hi Shirley
How often is he having, plabotomy, when I was having weekly draws
I had aches and pains ,tiredness for two or three days,no one could
Explain why,I am only assuming it our bodies adjusting to the deironing
And also having a pint of blood removed, I did mention this in a previous
Posting, and it is obvious we all get different symptoms????
I am now on fortnightly plabotomies, I don't feel as bad after.
It has to be a great shock to our bodies having such regular extractions
Cheers

His kidneys get so sore for 3 days after. Maybe something everyone goes through.

When we go grocery shopping we pay attention to the iron content in the food.
He also stopped drinking alcohol . Has like 1 beer a month .
Its been a year almost .
I just worry if there is damage happening to the kidneys from this process .

No, they don't. Hopefully he has reported this to his dr and haemotologist.

Good morning Sheryl
I would help if you elaborated more,yes he should not get pains
In his kidneys, but are you also saying he shouldn't be getting aches
And pains in his body ,I and several others since I've been on this
Forum have been saying they also get aches,pains,tiredness etc
100% report anything different in vital organs, that is commonsense
Cheers

I am talking kidneys - that is the question that was asked by Shirley. Perhaps his kidneys are trying to tell him something. Don't ignore, best to get checked out.
And we don't have to be told to drink plenty of water/fluids pre and post venesection.
Personally, I am pain free for 13 days after a venesection. So good! But we know everyone is different but I just have not heard anyone personally say they had aches and pains after having venesections. Or, no more than what they were experiencing before a venesection. Have you googled 'post venesection pain' by any chance?
I just did and did not find anything other than the following from the Iron Disorders Institute:
" At anytime during treatment you experience symptoms of heart irregularities or severe abdominal pain or symptoms of anemia, alert your physician immediately."
Maybe you can find something.

You are right, that was the original question. I was responding to further down when Shirley said
"His kidneys get so sore for 3 days after. Maybe something everyone goes through."

I am not sure. I know that my body seems to have more aches and pains after a phlebotomy but sometimes I feel great afterwards! The last 2 have been more on the harder side especially this last one. I can say that with the last 2 my ferritin dropped quite a bit (almost 200 points) and the iron in my blood went up a bit (which was then removed during phlebotomy). not sure if that is the cause but I can say that I do experience aches and pains after a phlebotomy that seem more pronounced at times.
