Just a quick update on my blood work so far: 9/20/22 serum iron 66 ferritin 11---

1/16/23 serum iron 74 ferritin 39---7/5/23 serrium iron 101 ferritin 79

I am still only taking 900 mg of gabapention and iron supplements with vitamin c

My RLS is not a problem, I will get a twinge once in a great while but no problem sitting or sleeping

I will see my neurologist out of Vanderbilt next week for a check up but don't see any changes being made. I also see him for sleep apnea and use a cpap for the last 3/4 months. Not really a fan of cpap but still trying to make it work.

I will satisfied with my progress so far. Thanks to everyone here who contributed to helping me get to this point
