Wanna Its about time that doc calls you! Hopefully you will feel more comfortable after the appt. Its a shame they are just now taking the time.
Lissa and Faith good luck this week!
I went yesterday to have an IV iron infusion. My hct and ferratin have been really low because I just started being able to eat- my body just isn't catching up. So I asked about allergic reactions and whatnot and the lady said she had never seen one. So of course, I finish up the 4 hours infusion and head down to the cafeteria before my appt and my leg itched...I lifted up my pant leg and scratched it and I had NO feeling at all in my legs! I could walk on them, but couldn't feel myself touching them. They were HUGE and purple and covered in hives. I went right back and my BP was high (it was low 30 minutes before), and my pulse was 135.
I ended up in L&D for about 5 hours, given injections to stop the reaction, and saw a cardiologist and had the baby monitored. We are both fine, but it sure was scary.
