I had my first IV 4 days ago. No swelling or on site irritation. I have suffered with a severe headache, major bone and muscle pain, and occasional chest pain since the treatment. I also have small dotted rash (looks like I am covered with red freckles)under the skin of both legs. I really need the iron so I am suffering through these side effects. The plan is for the next IV in 3 days. Hoping the ... Show Full Comment

I had small AVM bleeds in my intestines, so started Feraheme about 7yrs ago. I've had infusions weekly to monthly. Longest I've ever gone without it is 3 months, and that was a disaster, i ended up in the hospital needing a transfusion because my Iron level dropped to 4! Feraheme has worked great for me for years now, keeping me 'close' to the normal range. My hematologist monitors ... Show Full Comment

Feraheme has worked great for me for years now, keeping me 'close' to the normal range. My hematologist monitors my ferritin levels to be sure I'm not getting too much iron. I've had NO side effects, no issues at all.

No adverse affects; go in, get IV'ed, sit for ten minutes, and then go. I've been battling anemia through diet and pills for years without any kind of stable result. But with this I'm finally experiencing improvements.

I have had two feraheme infusions, one week apart, due to anemia, which the drs are saying is from heavy periods... I had no bad side effects from the infusions at all... I started really feeling better around the end of week one. My hemoglobin was 8.6 before the infusions. I will update this to tell you what my hemoglobin is in 2 weeks.

I started really feeling better around the end of week one. My hemoglobin was 8.6 before the infusions. I will update this to tell you what my hemoglobin is in 2 weeks. I came to this forum before I got the infusions done and was really scared by what I read, so I thought it was important to add my good review. I had no bad effects, it went well during the infusion and after. For anyone going to have an infusion for the first time, be watchful for side effects during and after the infusion, but don't be afraid the nurse told me in her years of doing infusions she had never had a bad reaction and I can attest to being a good experience.. no bad reaction during nor bad side effects in the days after.
