Hi,
I don't tolerate oral iron and so after much battling and several infusions I now have my iron blood test sent every six months directly to the chief haematologist for my region (NHS).
My iron, ferritin and HGB are falling but are not below range and I have argued it out with him that I do not need to be rock bottom before I get an infusion. He refuses to budge.
However having had anaemia on and off over the years I know the signs. I lose cognitive ability, I feel the flutter in my chest, the exhaustion and I see the ghostly pallor.
For the first time ever I have PMI through my work and I have managed to get referred to the Chief Haematologist at the private hospital.
I am going to try and explain to her why I should have infusions before my labs bottom out.
My saturation rate is low and I know I can use this...
Does anyone have any info/help they could give me to strengthen my case?
Many thanks
Kirsten
