Question:

What are iron infusions?

I have all the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia and I‘m having a blood test ASAP, but I can‘t take pills for the life of me. Someone recommended iron infusions as an alternative - what are they?

Answer:

60 PSI is the safety rating for the particular tire, not the recommended. Running PSI at or near max PSI can potentially be very dangerous. You need to run the PSI recommended for your Camry, not the max of the tire. The recommended PSI for your 1998 Camry XLE is 32 PSI, both front and rear. Anything more than a couple of pounds over 32 PSI will make your ride very hard and prematurely wear your tires. If you have tire pressure anywhere above 35 PSI you are simply asking for major trouble, both on safety and for proper ride quality and possible damage to your tires.
60 PSI is way too high. Most midsized cars have them at 30-32 PSI. To know the exact recommended tire pressure for your Camry, open the driver door and look at the door jam. You will find a white or black sticker (probably white) that has the tire pressure listed there.
60 PSI sounds very high. Your car should have a label inside the drivers door jamb with recommended pressures. If not, look at the side wall of your tire for a maximum number of PSI. You can safely inflate the tire to that maximum pressure.
Iron can be given orally via tablets or a liquid. If for some reason a person cannot tolerate or absorb oral medications you can have 3 monthly iron infusions which is iron given intravenously (into the vein) over 30-60 minutes. You usually have to attend a daycentre/hospital to have this done. I suggest you wait for your blood test and try liquid preparations if required- infusions should be a last resort.
