A member asked:
Is 8 weeks of iron infusions enough? ater this time hemoglobin decreased to 7.6. as a result, i had a blood transfusion.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Something's wrong: If iron infusions over eight weeks didn't fix your anemia, it's either not due to iron deficiency or you still have serious blood loss. I also see that somebody is giving you vitamin B12 for whatever reason. Please forgive my frankness. If there is not a misunderstanding, please get with a hematologist.
