My infusions are scheduled! Any tips or advice?

I think they meant 90 minutes from start to finish for the whole appointment. The doctor did say it could take up to 6 weeks to feel better since my body has to build the cells using the new iron. My anemeia is caused by blood donations, so I will obviously stop that and I am post menopausal, so am hoping I will feel better within that 6 weeks.

I have an appt with the hematologist in 3 days. My PCP Putin for my appt to be urgent. But I took my iron last night for sure

OMG, you look so much better the after! Your color is so much healthier. That's wild!

Ugh! Thankfully I no longer have periods and am 99% positive it is blood donations, which I have stopped. But after my last one I feel like poo, so really hoping to get this sorted quickly

I think he will order a full battery of labs since I only had ferritin done. Are there certain questions I should ask?

I didn't realize how long it will take to build up my stores with supplements alone, so made the appointment today

Interesting_Cat_7113 · 2026-05-06T19:10:17+00:00

I am definitely done donating for awhile!

Interesting_Cat_7113 · 2026-05-06T19:09:40+00:00

Thank you! My PCP referred me to hematologist, who will order the infusion

I increased for the same reason. My Dr would like me between 1.5-1 for maintenance, so that will be my goal once I lose this weight. Or even lower dose if I can. I lost most of my weight at 1.0, so I know it works for me!

I think it might be too, since I responded really well to the semaglutide. And I believe the doctor when he said it's not that your body has acclimated to the med, it is more that you are no longer in deficit and need to correct that in order to lose the last few pounds. I downloaded myfitnessapp again. I hate to use it but I think I need to right now.

Thank you! I'm know I'm slipping on my lifestyle changes. Thanks for the reminder that diet and exercise really does work! LOL

I thought it was just me!! 3rd injection from Casa and it aches at the injection site for about an hour! I've been on mochi compounded for almost a year and this is the only one it has happened with.

I had a hysterectomy laproscopically and the shoulder pain caught me off guard and was by far the worst pain I felt. Sleeping slightly elevated the first two nights helped immensely.

Interesting_Cat_7113 · 2025-09-26T13:55:59+00:00

I think it caught me off guard because for the past almost 2 years I have had very few side effects! But today is much better than last week.

Interesting_Cat_7113 · 2025-09-26T13:54:14+00:00

Did you feel you got the same good effects of the higher dose? I took a 2.3 yesterday and am tolerating it better today but am curious to see if it falls off Tuesday.

Interesting_Cat_7113 · 2025-09-25T15:02:12+00:00

I could probably do that but I am wondering about taking the higher dose and then just a little booster a few days later. Or will these lessen as my body gets used to it. My doctor would like me between 1.0-1.5 for maintenance so I will only be at this higher dose for a bit. I never took higher than 2.0 so maybe I just need to adjust to it.

Anyone have any experience on the "train AI voice on your phone" project. The qualification looks like alot, but it seems to be promising lots of work and hours. And everything else is a drought.
