Update on low iron and met with hematologist

Hi, Just got electricity so here goes:

Yes, had plenty of signs of low iron. Falling asleep on my couch, trouble with exercise, climbing and out of breath, lack of energy and grumpy all around.

Iron infusion easy. Showed up at 8:30 and done at 10:30 am.

NO, I won't feel better right away. It takes a month or longer to see the differences although people with low ferritin usually feel some changes at 2-3 weeks.

I will be taking Integra F with a stool softener already built in to the iron prescribed by my doctor.

Have no advice other than watch your labs diligently.
