Hi all,I have known about the RLS/iron link for many years however as my ferritin iron level has always been around 100 I haven't taken iron consistently.Five months ago I started "getting serious " in taking it every other night with vitamin C as even with my Zomorph and Pregablin I was still getting RLS occasionally.I had my blood test results yesterday and I have in 5 months managed to get my ferritin iron up from 112 to 167 . I am really pleased with that result and am going to keep going to hopefully hit 200.It may be coincidence but my RLS has been quiet for 8 full weeks now .Posting really to give members an idea of how much it was raised within 5 months although I appreciate we are all different. I take iron bisglycinate. Best wishes to all. Pipps x

Well done, Pipps. Any noticeable effect on your RLS?
Yes I think so could be coincidence but last few weeks have been better .I am going to keep on and raise to 200/250 and at least I will have given it a go .How are you doing Lotte?
Really glad it's helped.
That's terrific news.
Absolutely no coincidence! You are on the right road. Can only get better!
All the best.
Us "ladies" have to keep together!😝💚
Excellent news Pipps. Kakally has to keep her serum ferritin above 300ųg to get relief. I suspect many people need levels above 200 or 300.
If only iron infusions were first line treatment! Think of the tens of thousands of patients that could be helped, and RLS free without the need for meds?
Pipins, how much mg of iron is your pills?
Not what you're looking for?
