What information is there about neuropathic pain (diabetic neuropathy), sleep disorders and iron infusions? I have been anemic for at leat 25 years, despite red meat, iron supplements etc. I have been evaluated by hematology with no real answer why, but now my neurologist is recomending an iron infusion.
