Blood result and raised MCV
Hi everyone. I had a recent blood test as I've been supplementing with gentle iron, general A-Z vits and B12 since the spring. I particularly wanted to check up on my iron/ferritin status. I've never had a positive diagnosis of PA, or even of B12 deficiency as my levels have always been 'in range'.

Advice needed on iron/ferritin levels please
I'd be really grateful if anyone could advise on whether I need to be concerned about my iron/ferritin levels. I'm seeing a neurologist tomorrow and want to be well informed. I have results from my last three blood tests so hopefully that might help. Serum iron level: October 2023 - 7.7 umol/L; January

one last question ( hopefully)
I have finally managed to get an appointment with my GP where I hope to convince him to give me B12 injections more often that once every 8 weeks and I never had a loading doses so am hoping for that too. I hope I can get him to do some tests, like size shape and number of red blood cells, intrinsic

Recent blood test results advice please
I have just received some blood test results, having had an iron infusion in October 2023, I would love advice please, bearing in mind my serum ferritin is still over reference range. I have not taken iron tablets since the iron infusion. Serum folate 5.5 ug/L (ref. range 3.0-20.5) Serum ferritin

Does anybody know about Baclofen for RLS ?
I have been quiet for a few week's when my Ferritin levels were at 14 so a new Dr. put me on to Iron Sulphate and the level went up to 134 so they are wanting me to keep taking the Iron. I take a pill every other day with orange juice, thought it was helping my leg's and arm's but no ! After 3 night's

Iron and sleep
Moringa is loaded with iron and many healthy vitamins and minerals, no other plant in the world gives more nutrients than moringa, organic black strap molasses is loaded with iron vitamin B and minerals, 5htp is one of my favourite products followed by Valerian and kava, take all things in moderation

Can't sleep
I am having a tough night. First time in awhile that I've even needed to post. I want to vent, but I also want to end that vent with self praise to hopefully stop this brain cycle tonight. Vent: Finances are a struggle and I have been clinging to escapism quite a bit. I am avoiding a lot of responsibilities
