Hi doctor, My mom, who is 76 years old, has a transferritin saturation level of 17. She has been scheduled for iron infusion therapy. She feels extremely fatigued, short of breath and arthritic pain. She cannot tolerate oral Iron. She has had iron infusions before, but do not last long. What to do? This problem has been there for a long time. She has had a cardiac work up, which was good. Currently, she is on blood pressure medication and pain medicine for arthritis.
