I just had my second dose of IV Iron Infusion using Venofer and I noticed hives were forming on my arms then within a few mins my legs started to seize up - couldn't walk - My hands started to cramp up and then my stomach and back were cramping up. Called 911 and while I was transported to the hospital they gave me benadryl which helped with the hives but the pain in my back and stomach got worse. Once I was in the hospital I started having fainting spells. I could not stand up with out blacking out. I didn't even know I fainted until I woke up by the nurses pounding on my chest. A very scary feeling. The doctors told me my potassium was low... is this true?
