Iron pills.

[knitknax58]

I have finally had results of my blood tests for iron levels. The results shows that I am slightly low but not anaemic. I have been given a low dose of ferrous fumerate and to take one a day. I know it's a long shot but hope that it might help.

Knitknaz did you ask specifically what your ferratin iron level is? That is the important one,ask for the actual number,normal won't do for us ,it needs to be over 70

Remind me what you are currently taking for your RLS

[knitknax58 in reply to Pippins2]

Just Clonazepam 0.5mg, Paracetamol and a anti inflammatory gel Phorpain.

Really? Mine wants me to get it up to 50? Not easy. I am taking liquid and it is still upsetting my stomach.

I have had a good spell of nearly 8 weeks with only a few nights of RLS. l am still on iron pills but I am now back to normal, legs jumping and twitching most nights again. It was lovely while it lasted though.
