hair loss
I am low on ferritin and zinc and I am now getting vitaminB injections. I cannot absorb ferritin or zinc through my stomach (I am well medicated with thyroxine and levels remains stable). I keep asking for an iron infusion but keep getting refused because my 'numbers' are within normal range -ferritin

hair loss advice needed asap!!
hey everyone the 1 symptom that I hate the most is hair loss, every day when I brush my hair I’m loosing and even more when I wash it, I try and wash my hair twice a week, to reduce the loss but it’s not helping, I’ve been taking iron supplements and zinc and copper, and others that might help hair

Rotigotine Patches
Hi from England. I've just been prescribed these patches (2mg) a few days ago by my neurologist. He's told me to stay on my 4mg Requip (Ropinerol) because of the severity of my condition. He stated that he dislikes the term RLS as it seems to downplay the condition and wrote Willis Ekbom disease which

I took a test after 6 weeks and have attached a picture of the results. I also had an iron panel done at the same time and, as per

Finally given the all clear and advised that iron supplementation

Iron Level UP!
Earlier this year my Ferritin level reached nearly 200 and I began to sleep through the night. After a month the effect reduced and I wondered if this was due to using Gentle Iron so I changed back to 2 x 200mg Ferrous Sulphate tablets with Vitamin C every other night. More recently I have little RLS
