iron testing

[Steenslaw]

So I wonder, as my ferritin levels have been dropping over the past year, if it’s weird to be excited that my ferritin levels have dropped to 14. Why excited? Well, I finally have a doctor who seems open to an iron infusion, so maybe I will actually get what I need now…. Still, it feels wrong to be excited….

My doctor is also testing my parathyroid, which I haven’t had done before. I am interested to see those results too. She ordered that test based on the recommendation of the neurologist she is consulting with. I searched in our group and didn’t see a lot of hits on parathyroid and RLS. Does anyone have any information about the connection?

That's great!

Quite a few research articles linking parathyroid & RLS.

Thanks! My test results came back normal on the parathyroid, so I think it’s good we can rule that out.
