Wondering if anyone has to have regular iron infusions?
I received a phone call from my IBD nurse yesterday, in a flap because my latest blood results had come back and I was in urgent need of an iron infusion.
Miss piggy (my Stoma) has just turned 3, so I an assuming that in that time my iron stores have run right down, and not been replaced with dietary iron as I am not absorbing it.
Anyway I'm waiting to hear when I need to go next week to have the first infusion.
Over the last couple of months I have been exhausted, sometimes to the point of tears. I told my boss I was going to resign as I was too tired. On top of this I have sat out of my last couple of softball and hockey games, as I have too puffed when I run. I was just thinking I was too unfit. Also been getting crazy head aches, body aches and dizzy spells.
Has anyone else had any experience with crohns/ surgery related anemia?
I'm also feeling a bit flakey and forgetful. I had to write a tender submission last week, and could not find any of my words when trying to put it together.
Thanks
Janette
