Immediately following the infusion (I was still in the chair), which was administered over 3 hours, my blood pressure dropped to 42/27, with the predictable result - loss of consciousness. This was preceded by extreme joint stiffness (fingers of both hands and both knee joints, elbows, everything). I was put on oxygen and administered IV bolus of fluid. On Day 2 the same thing happened, but it took longer to recover. Infusion 3 was canceled.
Swetcheks152001 - I had my first Venofer infusion and my hands, feet, knees, legs and back went stiff. They were in pain. My back was in horrible pain. I was super nauseated and vomited terribly. I'm supposed to have a 2nd infusion but just don't think that I should.
