Many symptoms: By now your doctor(s) should have told you the cause of the anemia and begun appropriate treatment. If that is not the case you need a referral to a blood specialist (hematologist). If you have seen a hematologist but are not satisfied with the responses you should ask your primary doctor to refer you somewhere else.

IV iron?: This does not sound right to me. Unless you have serious stomach problems, there is no reason to be on IV iron to treat anemia. More importantly, you need to see your doctor about these night sweats and weight loss and pains. If you are not sure why you are getting IV iron, get a 2nd opinion.
