I have bleed for almost 2 full months over the last 4 months - awaiting on hysterectomy, so I supplemented with
dextran
iron
injections as my gut doesn’t do well on oral supplement.

Thoughts on Iron panel please
Have worked hard to increase my iron over the last few months and curious for your thoughts please. Looks like things are better but haven’t really noticed much difference to be honest. Based on these results is it safe to keep supplementing? (Using three arrows) Thank you

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

Why still low Iron
Hi everyone, Firstly, I wanted to mention that I'm trying my best to remain resilient through this rollercoaster of hormonal fluctuations, but I must admit, I do falter at times. Today, I find myself confined to bed, feeling rather overwhelmed. However, knowing that there are others who can relate keeps

Tear Drop Shaped Red Cells
Anyone else have tear drop shaped red cells? Went to a new MPN specialist last week. She did a blood smear which I hadn’t had in years. Apparently I have a small number of tear drop shaped red cells. This can be related to MF but after 2 BMBs in the past 2 years my diagnosis is still ET. Last BMB

Sharing comfort food recipe
Hi! I came across this post about making mashed potatoes with less fat and no dairy, and wanted to share. I just tried it and loved the results! It's comfort food (hopefully) without the pain. Because of my personal limitations, I bypassed the step of browning the potatoes in butter first, and cooked

RLS after stopping citalopram

Positive Update
I previously asked on this forum for advice for my husband in relation to a rls specialist in Ireland. This led to loads of great advice and knowledge in relation to the management of his severe rls as per Mayo Clinic Algorithm. He started taking magnesium glycinate 400 mg, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3

Query of whether I have Pernicious Anaemia
I have been told by one Dr that I have Pernicious Anaemia as my B12 was low this year and last year. My ferritin was also low. I had been on a high dose of PPis for 4 years and intermittently for many years before that. Intrinsic factor this year was negative and when I had a gastroscopy last year

What on earth is going on with my T4?
I've just got my latest test results back. I am currently on100mcg levothyroxine which was raised from 75 in June. However my T4 levels have significantly decreased since June despite the rise in levo. My TSH results have also decreased. Can anyone explain what is likely to be going on? I've also had

Up and down…
I’m on 87.5mcg levo. My last blood tests showed low ferritin (32), t4 19.1 (12-22) t3 3.9 (3.1-6.8), slightly over range testosterone (on hrt but not on any testosterone). I’m seeing a thyroid specialist for the first time at the end of the month and will ask about iron testing and low ferritin, and

Help with test results
Hi,I'm hoping to get insights into my latest test results and symptoms I continue to have. I had my thyroid out in 2012 (Graves), I'm located in Australia and currently taking 100mcg of Eltroxin and 16mcg of slow release (compounded) t3 daily. Around 2yrs ago I got quite sick, I had extremely heavy fatigue

Colonoscopy/gastroscopy
Hello, me again! Or should I say “g’day”? I’ve just had my first ever hospital procedure with sedation - A colonoscopy and gastroscopy (top and tail) to check why I might not be absorbing B12 and iron. I’ve been terrified about it for so long and it was a complete non-event. The hospital staff were

Update on appointment at Vanderbilt QCC
I have secured an appointment for a 2nd opinion with Dr Arthur Walters who is the Director of Vanderbilt's RLS QCC. This will be a telemedicine visit so I do not need to travel 2 hours to be seen again. I was initially seen by Dr Kishan Tarpara at Vanderbilt but was very disappointed that he would not
