Reposted in plain text:

Forty years ago with my first pregnancy I was also given iron injections in the buttocks. I don't remember how often they were given, but they left me with great iron stains that took years to disappear - but they did, eventually. I also got great brown marks in my (blue) irises, so that I thought my eyes were changing colour. (At an iridology class one time some ten years later a fellow student who must have had some experience examined at my irises and asked if I'd been given iron injections (she called it another name that I don't recall.) I think those brown spots are still there.)

This was in the UK, and the nurse used to come to the house to give me the shots. One time the Doctor came, and seemed to be preparing to give me the shot in the arm. I waited to make sure that was his intention while trying to work out a tactful way to bring his mind back on track. "Aren't you going to give it to me in the behind this time?" I asked. He seemed to have quite a shock, as well he might, and quickly undid the strap around my arm. He probably thought he'd narrowly missed making a big mistake, and I could have narrowly missed being on the receiving end of one, as my brain was so slow formulating my question. But luckily I did know that this kind of jab was dangerous in the vein and had to go in the buttocks.

Anyone?, Sorry to go OT but this reminds me of some large sort of bruises i have had on my hips for 4 years now. When i was pregnant with my son i was given iron injections three times a week for a few months and then once a week for another month until my OB Dr. told me not to let The MD give me anymore (she didn't say why). Since then none of the Doctor's can tell me specifically what it is and how to fix it. I'm trying to figure out if it is iron deposited under the skin or damaged capilaries that keep leaching blood. The areas are slightly tender and have faided considerbly but not in the last year. The subject of these posts has been helping me in my quest to figure out what is going on.
LOVE ALL THESE BRILLIANT MINDS!
