Help interpreting blood test results please
Serum b12 332ng/L (180-914) Serum ferritin 19ug/L (11-336) Serum folate 18.7ug/L (3.1-19.9) Serum d 86 nmol/L (76-220) I can't find anything else indicating iron, but maybe it's called something different? They also did a full blood count, so maybe it's there - ?

Why does RLS disappear upon standing.? I don't have clue. Believe it or not ;)
I read some older articles about how epinephrine and norepinephrine levels rise (somewhat dramatically) but NOT dopamine when we go from a supine position to a standing one. I have no idea if this is why our RLS is relieved upon standing.

Has any any used transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for PD symptoms?
A new TENS device (http://www.webmd.com/migraines-headaches/news/20140311/fda-approves-first-device-to-prevent-migraines) for preventing migraines has just been approved by the FDA and can be purchased. Just wondering if it could have a positive effect on PD symptoms like DBS?

Haemoglobin
Had my check up 2 weeks ago and the WBC was 56 and haemoglobin 12. The Dr said 12 is low. I was disappointed as I have been taking iron tablets for a year. Is 12 very poor result or not too bad? Is anyone else only 12?

TSH 4.61 (0.4 - 4.0) under medicating!
After everyone's help and realising that I was being under medicated following a recent blood test, I have now been back to see the Doc. I thought you would like to know that he has upped my thyroxine by 25mg to 150mg and prescribed ferrous sulphate as my ferritin levels were a measly 16 ug/L (25-300

Blood tests requested by gp included transferrin saturation index
Had blood tests today. Managed to get gp to do b12, ferritin and folate but noticed she had requested a transferrin saturation index. Has any one else had this? What's it for? On 150mcg of levothyroxine after tt and still feeling awful. In fact I think I'm getting worse. Hoping these tests show something
