Iron infusion

Hi guys well had iron infusion early July, I don't think there has been any change in my RLS. Fingers crossed going through a reasonably settled period at present. I have odd nights disturbed. I go to see Dr Anderson again in september so just keeping going. Hoping you are all doing ok at preset. I won't be able to get to london this year, just hope perhaps next year we could get it a little further north.

I was hoping for some dramatic improvement for you. What is your serum ferritin after the infusion? I seem to recall Annjende saying she had 3 iron infusions relatively close together in the USA. Did you just have the one infusion & they won't be doing any more?

At least you are going through a settled period so let's hope that continues.

I have been and still am taking Mirapex for RLS. It has been working well until recently when I tried to take an afternoon nap. HA now way! Shortly after I started taking 5-HTP and took npas with no RLS sympthoms. I not saying that 5-HTP is the reason but I didn't do or take anything else. Like so many other remedies, it's different results for different pedople. I'll be following this thread to see more from, everyone. I CAN ONLY TELL YOU THE RESULTS WERE DRAMATIC FORE ME!!!
