Daridexorant / quvuviq and RLS

GPs! Lack of knowledge.
Continuation of RLS with GP. Ferritin levels are 50, normal apparently! I take Ropinirole 4mg and 210mg iron tablets to try and raise Ferritin. The GP keep stating that my levels are normal and there was very little she could do or suggest…her knowledge was very limited. How would you continue this

Food as medicine recommendations
I am educating myself via all the posts (thank you to all the regular posters). Is there a summary anywhere or a recommended book of how to ensure you are making the most of what you eat / don’t eat? For example, I just read that I need to eat steak and chips (great news) to help support optimal ferritin

How to handle going off mirapex
My neurologist decided to take me off mirapex. This is a new neurologist since mine retired. She specializes in sleep problems. I also have sleep apnea. I dont know why she decided to take me off mirapex. When she told me I was in a state of shock. I also take oxycodone. She is taking me off

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?

Buprenorphine @ 2 weeks, issues
Hi, I've been on buprenorphine (suboxone 2.0mg as i'm in USA) for little more than 2 weeks. This is after augmenting on pramipexole, getting off that last year, and having some moderate but transient response to IV Iron 5 mos ago that has mostly gone away (despite my ferritin levels still being 300)

Other blood results
I now have more results Serum folate 14.3 (3.1-17.5) Ferritin 138 (13-150) Iron 14 (5-28) B12 280 (200-940) Since they are in the range ‘everything is normal’! The coeliac one was clear so I can now try gluten free for 3 months to see if it makes any changes. But I am still tired, muscle aches

About to have my first Ferritin infusion
Hello from Tasmania, Australia. Briefly, I have had RLS for over 40 years. I am taking 2mg of Pramipexole and 1200 mg of Gabapentin per night which enables me to get a few hours of reasonable sleep . I also have to be careful not to sit for any length of time during the day or the RLS crank up. Tomorrow

Blood thinners and ferritin levels
For the last few months, I have been suffering from low ferritin levels and wondering if it could be caused by Edoxaban. I take a course of iron tablets, feel okay for a few weeks and then it starts again. Just wondering if anybody has also experienced this.

Should I ask to go up on my levothyroxine dosage?
Hi everyone! As suggested, I followed everyone's advice regarding the blood test, and also I've been taking the levothyroxine earlier (leaving more of a gap before eating or taking other medications) for a month, and my latest results are: Serum free T4 level 12.0 pmol/L [7.9 - 14.4] Normal 05 Apr

low serum iron. Normal ferritin
been getting very tired lately. ET (MPL) on pegysus 45ug every 2 weeks. Mentioned fatigue to haematologist and he suggested reducing peg further to 3 weekly. Got the above results after we got home. Also raised CRP but I do have a cold . raised neutrophils and wbc. Haem thought this was good as mounting
