Just got my latest ferritin/ trans ferritin saturation results as recommended by this forum as a major factor in RL- they are 239 & 40% respectively & although my specialist says there OK to good I trust the group more to confirm I don't need to supplement iron .Thanks so much

They are pretty good for RLS, right at the top end. Have you noticed any benefits for your RLS as the iron has increased? Depending on your reasons for low iron in the first place you may need some degree of supplements to maintain that level.

Has this helped your RLS symptoms? If not, or not much, it could be that even the reduced dose of atorvastatin - or another medication - is still triggering the symptoms. I didn't get rid of RLS symptoms until I was entirely off statins and other trigger medications, and had also reduced dietary triggers.

Not what you're looking for?
