My iron is so low that I saw a hematologist and he said no amount of food supplementation would work. The iron I take at night upsets my stomach and I have to go to the bathroom.

On Monday, I am having an IV of iron.

Hi @Misfit Toy just checking on you to see how the IV iron was going. I had to do that before and it wasn't an overly terrible experience. The only downside was that my levels won't stay high and it may need to be repeated if I don't find another alternative to pills.
