Iron levels checked
Had an iron panel completed. 2 important numbers. Ferritin 102, saturation 29 percent. Now what. Dr says both normal. Every test I take, everything comes back normal so why have I had RLS since childhood and at 76 getting 2-3 hours sleep because I have to walk the floors all night and getting worse and

Confounded by two different results for MMA test. One negative, one positive
About six weeks ago husband took a Medichecks MMA test. It was over range (positive) In a way I was relieved by this because it meant that now we knew what we were dealing with and what to do about it. However, GP was clueless and referred us on to a specialist in Cambridge, who five weeks after the

Switched from Methadone at 10 mg to Buprenorphine 10 mcg
Good Morning, As of June 2023, I began with 5 mg of methadone, and gradually increased it to 20 mg by August. I reported to the forum in early November, a transformation occurred, with the leg spasms virtually gone, caused by RLS at night. I began tapering off, and reduced it to 7.5 mg and have remained

low lymphocytes in blood. High white cells in urine. Should I be worried?
Recently had a letter from rheumatologist saying my lymphocytes are low 0.5. And +++ Leukocytes in urine. As well as low vitamin D & low ferritin. I take Vit D anyway and am on MMF & prednisolone 7mg . Should I be worried? My named rheumatology team are not helpful at all, these results only came

Serum ferritin level & RBC count help please
Hi there, just wondered If anyone could please tell me if a Ferritin level of 44ng/ml and a RBC count of 3.76 (whilst actually already taking Ferrous Fumerate 210mg twice per day) is still pretty low and ‘could’ maybe be the reason I’m still feeling exhausted/heavy tired legs?? Thank you in advance

Vitamin D levels
Hi guys, have a blood test at my GP tomorrow morning after I sent a message about getting my Vit D, Folate, Ferritin, B12 etc tested Is it the case now that if deficient, GPs won't treat? My levels a couple of years ago were 16 so very deficient Just worried if it comes back that low again, that GP

New to the group - looking for some realistic advice on recovery time after loading doses
Hi all. I am new to the group and this delightful condition we all have! Similar story to many, blood tests showing low B12/folate/ferritin (although this hasn't been mentioned at all by my GP). Had 6 x loading doses followed by 5mg folic acid that I'm on for three months. I was told last week that since

Baclofen and PLMD symptoms
About two months ago I strained my back lifting a swimming pool pump. My PLMD symptoms immediately increased. I began upping my dosage of Baclofen up to 80 mg some nights. My PLMD kept getting worse. My VA Dr ordered a CAT scan, which showed nothing wrong. I met with him after the results came back,

Help with PCOS inositol supplements (trying to conceive!)
Hi all! I've been diagnosed with PCOS in my teens. I had most of the symptoms on the list, no periods, acne, hirsutism, heavy bleeding when periods deign to appear. I lost count of how many different pills I took and had most of their side effects (apart from blood clots thankfully!). It got to a point

Escape from DA Augmentation
Thanks to the support of several contributors to this forum and especially Joolsg, LotteM, and my patient GP, I have been able to plan a route which seems at last to be positive and I feel I should post a note on my current situation. I am 3 months+ since my last DA rotigotine patch and at which point

Can I get any help on my ‘normal’
ferritin
blood
test
. 24ug/l. Range. 11-307 my husbands, same range is 200ug/L We eat the same meals . Is there any way mine could be improved as it appears to me that it would take more than a diet to fix it .

FINALLY found a scientific study that supports my theory about Brain Iron and Serum Iron. Finally!!!
First, the relevant quote from the article: “The serum iron concentration was significantly higher in the RLS group than in the control group, but remained within normal ranges in both groups. In this study, there was a significant correlation between serum and CSF iron concentrations, both in the RLS

Blood Test Results/Niraparib
Hello everyone I was diagnosed with High Grade Stage 4 ovarian cancer in July 2016, and have since had chemo, then surgery, and then 2nd line chemo following a recurrence. After that, in September 2019, I was offered Niraparib, which has worked wonderfully for me! My GP has recently requested repeat
