Breathing and standing!
Hello. A disparate couple of questions for you with longer term experience of PV please? I'm having a slightly uncomfortable breathing symptom. Have had it before but it goes after a few days/weeks and doesn't stop me exercising; it's just unpleasant. Previously thought it was due to low ferritin

Using turmeric to lower high ferritin
These are my latest and I’m concerned about high ferritin. It’s been over range at least two years since taking high doses of liquid ionic iron for very low ferritin. Sometimes it’s significantly lower than this but always over, lately Buddy’s post this morning about high dose turmeric piqued my interest

I had a follow up appt with my Dr yesterday. Told her I am down from 10 mg ropinorole to 3 mg with the help of 25 mg tramadol when needed. She thought that was great but does not want me to use tramadol. She said it causes Rls. She gave me gabapentin 300 mg. to try instead of Tramadol. I asked about

DA withdrawal progress
I am still waiting for my appointment for a
blood
test
to see what my
ferritin
levels are (getting any kind of appointment is a nightmare in rural Oxfordshire). My mental health is still suffering along with my work and am on reduced duties and responsibilities. Please be gentle.

Is it B12 anemia? I’m confused.
Hello all, I’m new here and not sure if I need to pursue some concerns I have with my health so wondered if anyone could possible give me some advice/guidance. I’ve always been tired, (it’s a family joke!), struggled with gut issues (mainly constipation), and in the last 5 or so years had terrible brain

Blood Parameters effected by dieting?
I just finished a diet of 4 weeks where I lost just over 10 pounds. So 3 or 4 days after the diet I had blood work done - These are the changes in 4 weeks since the previous test. White blood count went from 5 down to 2.2 Red blood count went from 3.5 down to 2.9 Hemoglobin down from 131 to

Weird test results
I tried to post my results the other day in the hope that one of our amazing Admins might be kind enough to give their opinion but the photo came out blurred for some reason. I take 3 grains of Armour which I’ve been doing since 2017 and up to now have been ok. However the last three to four months

1 1/2yrs of treatment and I’m getting worse again.
Need advice. I’m concerned. I was diagnosed with PA (lack IF via blood test) a year and a half ago. I have been on daily Hydroxo injections since. I started at a high concentrated dose (I’m in US) of 5,000mcg day and dosed it down to 1,750mcg day. I maintained this dose for 6 plus months and still

Sometimes the solution is simple !
Getting through the winter isn’t isn’t easy, is it friends ? This one was a long one and once the spring is on its way my energy levels, enthusiasm and motivation get going and life opens up again. It didn’t happen this year though. Asthma COPD for 21 years….was it all getting to the body ? No energy

High dose Turmeric and links to low ferritin
My ferritin has dropped from 82ug/L (30-150) 4 months ago to 64ug/L (30-264) this week (both Medichecks- Inuvi lab).

Liver Beef Glandular pills for iron?
Hi. Has anyone tried Liver Beef Glandular pills to increase iron rather than iron pills directly? My naturopathic doctor prefers this for RLS, because he says that iron pills are oxidizing. My Ferritin is ~80. And, I'm new here -- super helpful community. Now that I understand RLS, as I look back,

seeing neurologist, advice on b12 injections welcomed…
hi all? have been prescribed with PA. My ferritin levels are normal - 177 Vitamin D- 70. I have finished loading does for b12 last week. My last reading was 188 2 weeks ago but imagine it’s greater than 2000 now. My folate was low - 3.5. My Gp has helpfully given me folic acid 5 mg a day

Advice please
I thought I was going mad at first, my RLS is horrendous and affecting me at work. Poor and very little sleep, getting confused and making mistakes, forgetting information. The RLS was starting early on a morning and nothing I could do to relieve it. I was taking too many cocodomoI out of desperation

Multiple Iron Infusions.
I had an iron infusion two years ago for RLS. Before the infusion my ferritin was down to about 100 and it rose to about 350 Unfortunately my RLS didn't respond to this and I couldn't detect any improvement over the next 12 months. My ferritin decreased over 2 years to 200 and then gradually

RLS and changing meds
I have been on roprinerole xl (2mg and 4 mg) and the regular. Mostly I take the regular one because the insurance companies don't like to pay for the extended release. Right now, I cut a 4mg regular into 4 equal parts. I take two parts at night, so that's a 2 mg at bedtime and 1 and 1 earlier during

RLS, Augmentation and Finding a Neurologist in the SW of England
Good morning, I am a long-time sufferer of Fibromyalgia/CFS/RLS, these being my main areas of health concerns, being initially diagnosed way back in 1990. I believe I am suffering severely with my RLS and have been suffering with Augmentation unbeknown to me for a few years now, having been on 4 mg
