I'm trying to raise my low ferritin (33 at last test) and am taking ferrous sulphate twice a day (will be testing my levels again soon).I was previously taking my T3 meds once a day but am having a bit of trouble tolerating a recent 5mcg increase (was taking 10, now 15mcg) so I'd like to try splitting

Timing your tea/coffee (even decaff) for best iron absorption from diet and supplements
Coffee with a hamburger meal found to reduce iron absorption from that meal by 39% and tea by 64% Having coffee one hour before a meal, no effect on absorption of food iron. Having coffee 1 hour after a meal had the same impact on absorption as having it during the meal. Link https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Pregabalin dose increase?
Hi, I am on Pregabalin 150 mg and still struggle with RLS, PLMD and twitching toes plus grinding teeth. Fortunately I have managed to get a super job and starting work tomorrow. Yippee 😁 Unfortunately, I will be starting work @ 7.00 a m. and it's full time. In the UK for some reason it's super hard

What Bloodwork for initial RLS appointment?
I will be seeing someone in Dr. Winkelman's office next month. For my first visit, I would like to have all relevant bloodwork done BEFORE my appointment: iron, folate, B, etc. For example, there seem to be different "iron" tests. This will give us a heads-up on my RLS and something to talk about.

Hello and any advice for withdrawal?
I've been an RLS sufferer since I was 13 and I'm now 56. I've done all the good lifestyle stuff and nothing much helps. After 14 years in clinic with Professor Chaudhuri, told at every 6m appointment there have been no breakthroughs or new developments, have learned about iron infusion. I have requested

Questions regarding my B12 case (IF, veganism, oral sublingual, and other blood results)
Hi all, My case seems to be a little murky. In 2018 I found out that I had very low B12. I was a vegetarian at that time and for the last 2 years have been vegan. Back in 2018, I began injections which brought my level very high very quickly. At that time I also took my first intrinsic factor test. It
