Low ferritin
Opinions please on low
ferritin
. Had a
blood
test
last week to rule out CA and my
ferritin
level is 11. Range is 10 - 150. I have several symptoms of iron deficiency and just wondering if it is actually too low. GP states that is still in range. Any thoughts please?

Should I stop Ferrous Fumarate before Blood Test?
Hi, I was prescribed Ferrous Fumarate after my last bloods showed very low in
ferritin
levels (I'm Hashi's). I'm due my follow up routine
blood
test
for thyroid levels and
ferritin
/ iron next week. Do I need to stop taking the Ferrous Fumarate ahead of the blood test? Thanks so much

Ferritin Levels
Hello, Recent
blood
test
shows
Ferritin
at 118 (30 - 650 ug/L). I'm struggling to understand if that's ok as the range appears to have changed. When it was tested in September 2023 it was 112 but the range was 15-200ug/L. Is the range change significant?

FBC interpretation
I live in France and so therefore cannot obtain private
blood
test
results for Folate, B12, and
Ferritin
without catching a ferry and returning to the UK which I am too ill to do at present. I do however have a full blood count from a few months ago.

Pregabalin side effect – mental health
It gave me the confidence to ask the GP to re-look at my
ferritin
blood
test
results and the latest RLS treatment guidelines. My iron levels are now up and the RLS considerably eased, although not resolved entirely. As part of my treatment, I was put on Pregabalin.

Anxiety and panic attacks
(I have just been for a
blood
test
to check
ferritin
, folate, D3 and will get the results mid-week) It is possible that this is hormonal as I am peri-menopausal and on HRT. Does anyone have any knowledge/ insight regarding prolonged anxiety/panic after B12 injections?

Running low on iron
My
blood
test
for
ferritin
is 44 ug/L & it is only that high because I ate red meat I did do in desperation because the test last year was 10ug/L. I am vegetarian & I have great difficulty eating meat it seems to be hard to process for me.

Wits end
I need some advice please. I am currently on 300mg of pregabalin and one codeine tablet a day but this has stopped working. I struggle to get to sleep and when I do I am woken after 1 - 2 hours with restless legs and sometimes arms. I am at my wits end with exhaustion. I had a full blood count recently

Iron infusion flopped
Iron infusion flopped After my second iron infusion my serum ferritin catapulted from 55 to 588! Unfortunately, it did not stop the “bleed through”. Horizant, which is supposed to last 24 hours only controls my RLS for about 16 to 18 hours and then I get symptom bleed through. I was hoping that at

Iron infusion
My
ferritin
was 44 prior to infusion. I have to have a
blood
test
to see if it went up. Just curious how long before you feel better. I still feel the same, very tired. Came off mirapex a month ago and waiting for my dr. to give me a new medication. She mentioned gabapentin.
