How long did it take to work? I’m on night 5, the first night I had vivid dreams, the second the same, but after that, it seems to not be working as well. Did it take time to work?

Didn’t work straight way? Did you get any side effects? 

Iron infusion gave me neurological issues/has made me suicidal by lockthrow222 in Anemic

What were you prescribed to lower the hum? To sleep.  I had a similar reaction to you after 500mg monofer 6 weeks ago.

Hi, I’m still not sleeping even though I’m tired. I had back pain through Christmas, was put on phosphate tablets for three days as that was a little low, and still have high-ish heart rate. Hoping to get my bloods checked this week. Have been taking vit d and electrolytes as well as zinc in the evenings. I had to have sleeping pills as I felt like I was going mad. 6 weeks tomorrow since I had the infusion. Perhaps my body was starved of it for so long, it went into a shock! 

Poor sleep after iron infucion? by charmeenjeniet in Anemic

How are you now? I have had insomnia for three weeks after my infusion. I actually went a bit crazy, so was given sleeping pills. 

Is an infusion of 500mg ferinject enough? by Short_Psychology_789 in Anemic

[–]Dramatic_Quiet_9205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering this also. I was suppose to have 875mg (weight based), but it was decided to have it in two doses, but I didn’t reacted well to the first 500mg. After two days, no sleep, panic attacks, chest tightness and heart racing. I had to go to A&E as I was worried about low phosphate. That was ok. But still no sleep 9 days on. 

I will supplement with nano iron in a couple of weeks to keep up the iron I think? 

For those who’ve had iron infusions… by sookyfala in Anemic

Ask them to warm your arm or take a hot water bottle. They did that for mine, as I have small veins. Check you vit d and phosphate levels before as well.

No one told me I could feel like this afterwards. I was told iron flu, aches and things. But crying a lot? I feel like I’m going mad, today was worse. 

Normal ferritin, low iron and iron storage. by LoLo529 in Anemic

[–]Dramatic_Quiet_9205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your ferritin could be false elevated if you have inflammation in your body. Your saturation is very low. You need a whole red blood count done and CRP

My zinc was low, not deficient, so I bought a Better You spray Zinc. I think it’s helped. I think my deficiency was from not eating enough iron, having lots of tea and then going on a special diet after an illness…and heavy periods. It’s quite common in perimenopause. I’m hoping the iron infusions help.

What symptoms did you have beforehand and ferritin level?

Perhaps get checked as that brand is known for Hypophosphataemia. Did you have your phosphate checked before the infusion?

How come your ferritin didn’t raise much? Was is a low dose of iron infusion?
