Iron supplements dosage
Is 20mg of gentle iron each night enough? It worked well the first night. What a wonderful relief it was. The second night it did work within 70 mins but returned within 3 hours.. I wonder why it didn't last as long? Would a slow release be better, like ferrous sulphate 325mg? Or will it need to be

As most of you can relate to, I have given up so much in my life due to RLS. Every possible RLS trigger is in fact a trigger for me. I have given up HRT, SSRIs, statins, caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods (I used to put fresh jalapeno peppers on EVERYTHING), sugar, all processed foods, most carbs, and the

Ferrous Fumarate
I have just had blood tests done. I was found to be low in iron so the GP gave me ferrous fumarate to take for a month. I am on Levothyroxine (one day 75, next 100) I have just started taking escitalopram 10mg for the most awful anxiety and depression. But my anxiety is still really bad I’ve read ferrousfumarate

List of Neurological Symptoms
Asking for help again. Working with a friend who is navigating the UK medical system. Tests for B12 were taken prior which showed B12 deficiency and GP did not interprete the results correctly. No surprise there. More tests have been ordered after the GP was given information about B12 deficiency

Hyperparathyroidism
This is my first post on here. I wonder if anyone has had a blood test for Hyperparathyroidism who was taking a PPI? I am on Lansoprazole and I wondered if I should stop it before the blood test? I would be very grateful for any feedback.

Could ET mask a diagnosis of Vitamin B12 deficiency/Pernicious anaemia?
I have an ET JAK2 mutation diagnosis (on aspirin) and have some neurological type symptoms that are similar to those associated with a Vit B12 deficiency. Athough I'm now taking a B12 supplement, I was wanting to see if I could get a B12 injection in case my issue related to an inability to absorb B12

Worried about blood tests
Repeated blood count in April and haemoglobins were very low and I was diagnosed with
anaemia
again but that was attributed to my heavy periods which got a lot worse since last year. Last week I finally had my gastro appointment, 9 months post referral.

Tracking your B12 changes after injections? (Please share if so)
Hey everyone. In November 2022 I tested positive for parietal cell antibodies with a B12 deficiency. I started loading doses of B12 with weekly injections (of 1000 mcg/mL cyanocobalomine) over 1 month, then monthly injections since then. A friend had a similar situation. After she started injections

Has anyone ever had an Iron infusion?
Having suffered from underactive thyroid for years and taking Levothyroxine with mixed results, I also suffer from low iron and ferritin and Vitamin D. I find it hard to get my levels of iron up despite eating red meat and green veg and supplementing, and wondered if anyone had tried an iron infusion

A friend said to me “It sounds as if your heart has rebooted?”; Is this possible?
Then the emotional shit hit the fan (partner deteriorating until the level of
anaemia
was discovered) and things were very bad with AF and seriously bad sinus rhythm with supraventricular episodes, regularly getting 10 ectopics in 30 seconds with a Kardia reading.
