Hi, can anyone offer any ideas as to why ferritin has jumped from 37(mid-June) to 85.4 this wk aside from infection please?
I’ve only been able to take one iron tablet a day, ferrous fumerate 210mg (65mgiron) due to stomach issues and have been waiting for Three Arrows to arrive, & have been off them 1wk before
test
. It usually takes a very long time for
ferritin
to rise.

Ferritin Levels/Hair Loss/Thyroid
So I was told to have a
ferritin
test
and take vitamin D, I also take B12. Thinking that it would be low hence the hair loss, it is in actual fact completely the opposite, but I can't get the doctor to tell me what this might mean, I was just told, repeat the test in 6 weeks.

Advice please- should I increase T3 a little now, as advised by prescriber or do bloods first?
However a few things mean I’m a bit skint & I’m wondering if it’s ok to slowly increase to 15mcg T3 and then pay for only one
test
? I want to include vitamin d, iron and
ferritin
so the
test
will be a bit more expensive anyway. What do people think, am I thinking along right lines?

Taking Biotin prior to full Blood count
I always stop B complex when I have Advanced Thyroid (via medichecks) my recent
test
shows low
ferritin
and a higher inflammation I wonder if this could be Ulcerative colitis as seems to match symptoms so will go with the screening first as this was offered without my initiation. Many thanks

RLS? PLMD? Myoclonic Jerks? All of the above?
Lab
test
from Feb. 2023 showed:
Ferritin
level was 63.4 ng/mL. Total Iron Binding Capacity was 302 ug/dL. Iron Saturation was 24% (is this the same as ferritin saturation?) Thanks for reading this!

RLS, Augmentation and Finding a Neurologist in the SW of England
I've had to fight once a year just to get this
test
done, my last
ferritin
level was only 37 last October, but I realize I should have been requesting a full iron panel and all of this should have been carried out after fasting, which mone has never been carried out this way.

Ferrous fumurate
Hi there, so I've been on gabapentin for nearly 5 weeks, now 500mg..haven't noticed a great deal of difference, maybe not as restless but still not sleeping great..hope they start to work soon.. My question is though, my ferritin levels were at 24 so my gp gave me ferrous fumarate 210mg for my iron levels

Endo in my abdominal wall
I'm Lizzie and I was diagnosed today at nearly 39 years of age. Endometriosis in my abdomen and ovary. My ferritin levels have been very low for two years and I have missed periods on and off the longest being for 5 months. Apparently, my ostrogen levels are normal/low so I really didn't think my diagnosis

High Ferritin
I just had blood work after 2 infusions. My Ferritin went from 14 to 677. Is that too high?

low in iron and B12
found out I’m low in iron and I’ve got pernicious anemia. From my understanding having regular B12 injections has lowered my iron and ferritin. Should I put B12 on hold and increase my iron and ferritin? But when I don’t have regular B12 I feel the side effects. I’m taking heme iron once a day.

Help what happened?
My ferritin saturation has dropped since b12 injections! What do I do? I feel so ill! We now think the only reason I was low in b12 was a very very stressful year!

reverse out twice?
Hi Friends, I was diagnosed with b12d in June 2023. I found a way to get weekly shots, and largely got better from the horrible neuro symptoms. I then got proper loading doses and such in September 2024 - thanks to a good hematologist. Then I discovered my ferritin dropped. I have tried , unsuccessfully

Why do I feel so much better in the evening?
Been self-injecting EOD for 4 weeks now. My symptoms before injection were tearfulness, anxiety, shakiness, memory loss, cognitive issues, blurred vision and trouble walking properly. My active B12 on diagnosis was 33pmoL, folate was 2.6. Am taking 5mg folinic acid daily, plus vitamin D3, K2, gentle

Pramipexole
I had reduced prami very slowly from 5 x.088 down to two at night. After hols I decided to go cold turkey and stop. I take 2 tramadol x 50mg at 7oc. Quit alcahol as twas a trigger. I stay up as long as I can and about an hr before bedtime take 1mg Noctamid n sleep right thru. I don't want to become dependent

Low Ferritin
In May of this year my Ferritin level was 11 (range 15-200) and I was given Ferrous Fumarate and told to have bloods done again in a few months. My recent results were 19. I know Ferritin levels are notoriously slow to rise but I was surprised at the very slow progress....Does this seem right?

Severe RLS Augmentation on Pramipexole
I just discovered this wonderful site. I am 69, female, and live in Quebec, Canada. I have had RLS since I my youth and can identify with so many of your struggles. When officially diagnosed in my 20’s, I was prescribed clonazepam which helped for a few years. I then was referred to a neurologist and

Banging my head against a brick wall
ferritin is only 8 still (5-204) HB is 124(115-160) I believe you can have iron deficiency without anaemia but GP, consultant , won’t have it. As said before, can’t tolerate any oral iron and because my HB is in range I’m not a candidate for ferritin infusion although have had one when ferritin was
