Marlene,
Ouch. Thanks for that detail, which was not something I had considered. That's another point on the "con" side for desferal.
My thought, if I went that route, was that I'd actually do the chelation during the day instead of at night. I'm not sure I could sleep hooked up to a pump and Sub-Q rig. But I work from home mostly, so carrying it around during the day might not be so bad.
But the idea of puncturing blood vessels from time to time sounds like no fun.
Take Care!
Greg
