Blood results
Blood results from the local NHS neurologist say: “Iron level 22 falls within normal range” Is this ferritin?! This was after 2 weeks of being on ferrous fumarate and it was 24! 🙄🙄🙄 I know the levels should be over 100 at least as per Mayo. 😡 Transferrin Saturations 26% Transferrin level 3.4

Question About Iron Supplement
Has anyone tried a transdermal iron patch and does it raise your levels at all? I have been taking the supplements which have helped tremendously, until they started messing up my gastrointestinal system, and that was with the timed release, gentle iron and the sublingual iron as well. My doctor will

Recommended iron levels
With regard to iron, there is really only one correct way to test a patient's four iron levels. This information is from The Johns Hopkins University & Medical Center in Maryland, USA. Listed below are the four iron parameters, the "normal" limits for men and women, and the recommended levels for RLS

Iron info
Iron and RLS - and you There is by now no question that iron therapy helps many if not most RLS patients. This has been proven in numerous studies, dating back to the 1950's. Yet nearly all physicians have never heard of the RLS-Iron connection, let alone how to treat it. Many patients who have

RLS and iron
HOW TO HAVE YOUR IRON STATUS CHECKED IRON INFORMATION FOR RLS PATIENTS As we know, low iron in the brain is one of the two major causes of Restless Leg Syndrome. (The other is a dopamine imbalance in the brain. In any event, RLS occurs in the brain - it is manifested in the limbs.) With regard

iron suggestions please
Would be grateful for recommendations for iron supplement for my daughter. She is vegan and her ferritin is on the low side. In fact her vitamins are all rubbish but I’ve got everything else covered. Something gentle would be preferred. thanks in anticipation 🥰🥰

Iron - wishful thinking
And (of course) our overlapping neighbours in the Pernicious
Anaemia
Society! :-) But not a decent forum which specialises in ferritin, transferrin, haemoglobin, etc. All too often, I think iron gets viewed as an issue you get suffer because of something else.

Can anyone help me with my iron levels?
I've read on here that supplementing iron when only ferretin is low can be risky .... But wondered if anyone could give any input on my results? My ferretin isn't great and I want to improve it. Haemoglobin 140 (115 - 165) Serum iron level 18 (10 - 30) Serum transferrin 2.1 (2.0 - 4.0) Transferrin

update on test results
hi all so the doctor rang me and told me to lower my thyroxine down to 150 mg and she said my iron levels were 10 so on the borderline, she didn’t give me any tablets for this so I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing but I’ve bought some ferogloblin capsules with folic acid vitamin b12 and iron thanks

Help with iron panel results?
Hi!Can anyone shed any light on these please? May well be being v dim, but I think Ferritin should be higher...what does just out of range Transferrin mean please? CRP is less than 4. On GP's advice I've been taking ferrous fumarate for 3 months - ferritin was 7 in May, so at least that's improving..
