Help!
I am a 57 year old male. I've been feeling very tired and run down over the past months. I've been suffering from bouts of dizziness and my balance has become a real problem. My G.P. has run a whole range of blood tests. One of the tests carried out was Iron Profile and another was the Haematinics

Iron problem?
Hi,I have a low iron saturation - latest blood tests show range = just out (low side). Apologies I haven't got details atm. Although I do supplement with iron it's obviously not enough? I'm not too sure regarding Folate and Ferritin? What exactly do I purchase? Love to you all

ferritin still low
As mentioned before my ferritin is 13, can’t tolerate any oral form and have had infusions in the past. Am being denied infusion as Full bloods are within range, no idea what to do now, eating plenty of iron rich foods, feeling really unwell and down. Recent test results: B12=651(187-883), vit D=92(

Massachusetts Opioid Register Year 4 results
I attach the latest Massachusetts Opioid Register results, showing the medications taken by participants and the doses. Dr Winkelman set up the Register to show that addiction and tolerance are unlikely to happen when low dose opioids are used for RLS. For those who have augmented on dopamine agonists

teeth clenching
I’m titrating NDT Armour over the last year but I’ve got a hypo symptom that’s bothering me, nighttime teeth clenching. I have no knowledge I’m doing this. I take amitriptyline and once I get to sleep midnight to 1am, I’m out for the count. I think the dentist told me September 2023 that I was clenching

Tigger is bouncing around Winnie the Pooh, because he is happy his RLS is better
I was originally trialing 5 microgram 7 day patches that got me out of that dark tunnel but wasn’t 100% effective so after the initial 3 week trial I wrote to Dr Christopher Murphy explained the situation and he arranged for me to collect 10 microgram 7 day patches from Salford Royal Infirmary. I applied

TMS/TBS, Buprenorphine tip
I have just completed TMS/TBS(theta burst stimulation) treatments(36 TMS+10 TMS/TBS) It has been a game changer for the post Dopamine agonist depression, that was quite severe and unresponsive to meds. I currently have no depression symptoms. What I have found is that the RLS symptoms are decreased

Recent blood test – Why do I feel so tired?
Hello, Please could you have a look at my recent blood test results and tell me what could be the cause of my constant tiredness? I find it hard to get out of bed in the morning and often wake up with brain fog. I often wake up during the night to pee. I often feel the need to fall asleep in the afternoon

New ER for low hemoglobin
I am preaching to the choir to tell you that the US healthcare is a mess. I still do not have answers or a transfusion. My hem/onc wanted me back in the ER, and last night’s ER doctor did not do all the bloodwork she wanted even though the two hospitals are in the same system. I chose to go to Yale Nee

My Efforts to Educate the Scientific Community

The bulk of the article follows: The medical community is generally unaware of the benefit of a low oxalate diet for treatment of RLS. In 2015, after 5 years of closely
