Injectafer After Effects

Posted , 2 users are following.

I'm new to this forum, but I am not new to anemia or infusions. My hematologists tried regular ferritin infusions over a 2 year period - these did nothing for me. Then, last fall they mentioned Injectafer and their clinic even helped me get a price reduction through the manufacturer. So, after some deep thought, due to costs and lack of previous luck with infusions, I decided to go for this treatment, even tho it is more expensive. I received 2 infusions late last Fall about 10 days apart - the good news is that within 5 days I began to feel like a new, non-suffering person... the bad news is that then within a month that wonderful healthy feeling started disappearing rapidly, even tho my blood numbers aren't low enough for more (my levels are just barely above normal, yet not low enough for doctors or insurance to approve more). The concern that is bothering me the most now, is that I'm noticing a deep energy draining feeling all over my body and a deepening depression. Has anyone else had similar after effects?

    Hi there Crafdee5, 

    Whilst I haven’t experienced what you’re going through, there is another group forum where fellow patients do discuss something similar. Perhaps search under anaemia or iron infusion. Good luck, I wish you the best.
