Iron infusions?

[Jade]

After my last hospital stay I was sent to a local hospital to get 8 iron infusions. It was more of a gentle type with less side effects but I forget it's name. All the docs kept telling me how much better I'll feel after the infusions. I actually felt worse because the walk up to the hospital 3 times a week wore me out. The iron infusion did <i>nothing at all....nada...zero</i>. More and more this is becoming my reaction to nearly all meds. Nothing seems to work, not even giving me side effects.

Has anyone ever had iron infused before?
If so did it do anything at all for you besides bring your levels back to normal and waste a lot of time<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">.

One of my coworkers (no-cf) does this every few months and she's down for the count for several days. But for her it's a one time deal. She usually plans her infusions on a Thursday and is back at the office the following Tuesday.

I have nothing to add about the iron infusions, but I have been told in the past to be careful with iron supplements as bacteria needs iron to reproduce and if you are taking extra iron you are just feeding the bacteria.

I did also get some some years ago because my levels have been very low, but I felt no difference either.
