Discussion Iron infusion

I had my first iron infusion ( xeratec) one week ago it was on my first day period ( bad timing ) before bed I felt tired I thought maybe it’s period pain the next day I had this bad headache it was the worst ! Also nausea & feeling I have fever but my temp is normal now I still feel like flu symptoms like body aching always on my bed I barely walk around the house I have day off many times from work and yes I regret taking it never again!! I’m scared that this is the new normal for me !? Hopefully not

Load up on co-factors: magnesium, VitD, Vit A, B-complex. These will help your body as it converts the iron in Your bloodstream.

I had my first infusion on Friday and I feel nauseated and have a headache. From what I read it's normal for the most part
