Extended release iron
I used slow iron, time release so much easier to tolerate. Eat a little before taking. Bread works for me. Not all major teaching hospitals are licensed to do sedation for marrow asiration/cores. So be sure to ask before scheduling. My most recent and 6th one was first one under sedation, Versed, no pain at all except a 3 second minor break through pain. It's the date rape drug so we probably feel it but we don't remember at all. So works just as if no pain.
my first tow years ago were at a community hospital and had to be repated soon after. Hem did himself, sample not adequate.
That's awful your first hem didn't follow you, so irresponsible. There are some very caring, helpful docs out there, I'm sure you'll find one if haven't already.
