My visit to the Neurologist in the UK
I was incorrectly referred to the epilepsy clinic but the consultant saw me anyway and took my history. She said she would also chat to the “movement specialist” for their in put. She did a physical examination and noted my reflexes were “brisk”. She said that the dopamine agonists had been effective

High IronLow Ferritin
Hi, after my last results 2 months ago my ferritin level has dropped further regardless of the B12 suplaments (was told they are supposed to aid in converting iron to ferritin) however they have been no use. My ferritin has dropped further. Any recommendations on tests or suplaments? I live in Cyprus

Rheumatologist appointment at last!
My last rheumatologist appointment after ultra sounds on shoulders, and chest xray was postponed due to him being sick. He was most apologetic, but no one can help being sick. So I have tears in Noth left and right shoulder muscles, and I have a slightly enlarged heart. 2 years since I had a heart

Possible dangers of too much iron.
Iron supplementation is often advised on this forum. This article points up new research on the effect of iron on Alzheimer's. I would appreciate anyone with medical knowledge running their eye over this in case of any relevance to RLS. They do mention MS, which can be associated with RLS. Lhlklttps

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Low ferritin, high iron
I recently got a bunch of lab tests done by a functional medicine doctor. I thought I had too much iron. My UIBC was lab low at 91(range 131-425), my iron was lab high at 204(range 27-159), and iron saturation was lab high at 69%(range 15-55%).But ferritin was somewhat low, though not lab low. It was

Should I accept dose reduction?
My TSH dropped from 4.98 on diagnosis to below 1 as soon as I started Levo in 2020. For the past two years it’s been 0.01-0.03. It dropped that low when I went up to 100mcg in 2021. I accepted I was over medicated from advice here ( FT4 24.9, FT3 6.5) and because I was losing weight and I reduced

High Transferrin Saturation without optimal iron levels
Hello, I am currently trying to get my iron levels up and they are slowly creeping in the right direction. However. My latest bloods show that my TSAT is now too high at 65% (up from 39% two months ago), and ferritin at 70ug/L (up from 65ug/L.) Is this just something to monitor for now?

Intense Knee Pain
I have posted before about my unbearable knee pain & sadly it still persists. All the years that I was on Pramipexole & then the Neupro patch I got the very uncomfortable RLS symptoms of creeping sensations in the legs and the impossible ability to keep them still. but never pain. When, during lockdown

Ferritin levels
Got bloods taken last week, the GP who ordered them isn't in until Wed, but I spoke to receptionist who said all had been returned as "normal" levels. I asked her to read out my ferritin and she said it was 64. So I know this isn't "normal" for folks with RLS and I image the GP will put me on iron supplements

Iron could help B12 levels
Hi everyone, I’ve never post before… but I came across some useful information that could help you all. In my own personal experience I developed a b12 deficiency for no particular reason, I’ve been tested for pernicious anemia and that came back negative, I put it down to a mixture of a restricted

Hello forum Autoimmune Metaplastic Atrophic Gastritis (AMAG) results in the loss of parietal cells which causes a loss of production of stomach acid and intrinsic factor (IF). The loss of IF results in low B12. My general query is; are there consequences and symptoms connected to a lack of stomach
