Iron shot Injury--hiatus from TX

[Guest guest]

I've been put on hiatus on TX for 1-1/2 weeks. My

hemoglobin dropped to 9.9. So Saturday morning I went

to the drs. to get my iron shot. The nurse never did

one before and she pierced the nerve in my hip. By

evening I was rushed to the emergency room--my right

leg was numb and the muscles around the spine started

to inflame. Now I have to watch out for any fever or

uncontrolable bowels/incontinence. If this happens,

the nurse may have hit the nerve that affects those

two fuctions.

It's bad enough I feel like sh*t and like I'm dying

from the TX, but now to have this happen. I spent the

rest of the weekend crying. The pain is so bad, I

can't lay down to sleep. I'm only 14 weeks into

treatment and I'm physically and mentally tapped out.

Family was out of town and I had no way to contact

anyone. And with all of this, I " m still going to work

daily. My coworkers don't know a thing about my

situation--only the boss.

I have the feeling I'm not going to make it through

the treatment. I'm constantly dizzy, brain fog, brain

sparking, nausea, bronchiorestriction, lack of sleep,

etc. Can't eat because of the nausea, which is really

messing up my strength. I feel like the TX is going to

burn me out or kill me.
