My question is admittedly uninformed. You say your body "doesn't hold" iron sucrose when administered via infusion. How long does it hold? Is it absorbed for a short time then discharged? I wonder whether it holds long enough to support recombinant erythropoetin therapy. Perhaps repeated infusion of iron over the course of a week supporting EPO therapy would have an effect. Perhaps your physicians would be willing to try a test. Of course they would need to add Vitamin B12, Folic Acid and Vitamin C in the proper doses as part of the support.

Just a thought.
