Bone Tired

Yep, first IV iron infusion is in the books. It was uneventful in that it was just like getting an IV for anything else, then sitting until the drip was done and the bag was empty. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, or something equally corny. 

Not excited to find out it usually takes about 3 weeks to start making a difference in terms of mitigating symptoms. Argh. 

So I go again next week, then there will be a break of a couple weeks - a CBC done, and another infusion. I guess. Not sure on all the timing, I just want to stop feeling so tired. It’s not sleepy, necessarily, just slow, leaden, tired. 

I’m told that once I start to feel better, I will realize just how bad I felt. And oh boy am I looking forward to that!

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is my first IV iron infusion. There is no telling how long it will take for this stuff to kick in and give me back my brain, take away my headaches and stop my hair from falling out. Sheesh, sounds attractive, doesn't it?

Guys, guys .. don't jostle .. 👀
