Iron Infusion #2

Today was the 2nd in a series of 5 intravenous iron infusions. They didn't place a port but are instead moving the IV around each day. Today's was in my left hand between my thumb and wrist. It's a nasty area to place an IV but we've got to make use of my veins as we can.

Yesterday I had a weird taste in my mouth while the infusion happened, but no pain. Today, no weird taste, but the IV area burned like hell. They had to slow down the drip, reposition me, and then after 30 minutes they turned it back up without issue.

No leg cramps or other weird symptoms that I've read in other blog posts. Guess I'm lucky so far. Knock on wood.

I asked the V-Man if it was safe to infuse 200mg a day for 5 days in a row and he said that the doctor is up on latest uses of Venofer and that he was sure it was fine. So I'll stop worrying and just complete the treatment.

Two down, three to go.
