This just feels crazy to me. I was diagnosed in February and started infusions (Venofer) on March 23. I also started taking the Thorne iron bisglycinate supplement (along with extra Vitamin C). I had my fifth and final infusion 2 weeks ago and just got follow-up blood work yesterday before I meet with my hematologist again next week. I'm just in shock that my numbers changed so dramatically. I'm definitely feeling the difference. I don't feel euphoric or super human or anything, just human. And the contrast has me realizing again just how poorly I was "functioning" before.
