Iron infusion error.
Hi all, Be extremely alert if you ever have to have an iron infusion as misplacement of the cannula can have severe consequences. In my case the needle didn’t fully enter the vein so the fluid dispersed around the tissue resulting in permanent staining which has made me look like an orangutan. Only

Help with test results - haemochromatosis with iron deficiency?
A few years ago I regularly had blood tests which showed high iron levels so my doc suspected Haemochromatosis. I had the genetic testing which showed I had the gene mutation. I used to get blood drawn to treat it and bring down my iron levels. However, recently I had blood tests which showed low ferritin

Heme iron versus ferrous gluconate
Recent bloodwork shows a low iron problem accross several measures. PCP says to take ferrous gluconate. I remember iron discussions from a previous site in which heme iron was recommended for its better absorption, though ferrous gluconate is superior to some other forms in terms of absorption. I

Advice needed on iron levels (plus an update on Targinact)
Hi everyone, I posted recently asking for advice about Targinact, which I started taking on 10 January. I had such an extreme and horrible reaction that I stopped taking it 15 days later. Given my dose was only 5/2.5mg daily, I haven't had any withdrawal issues other than feeling very tired and depressed

RE iron tablet recommendations
Hi again I have to get my iron levels up.. I have one perscription from my GP for 305 mg Caps Ferrous fumurate (but when I go to the pharmacies here they only have Galfer which has sooo many horrible ingredients, some of which have been banned in Australia, some euro countries)... And my private Endo

Starting B12 injections, how often?
Hello everybody, I will be receiving my first B12 injection next week. My blood test results were as follows folate 3.4ug/L, ferritin 19.9ug/L and B12 218ug/L before any medication. I started on iron and folate tablets a week ago. What I'm wondering is how often should I be getting the B12 injection

Iron values
I finally went to the Dr and had my iron levels tested. My serim ferritin is 408 and my transferrin is 26%. So my basic understanding is i have to decrease the first and increase the second. How do I do this?? The issue now is that my GP has no idea what this means and how to get to correct levels. Any

Multivitamins
Hello. I just wondered if anyone could recommend a good multivitamin that has no iron. Since my diagnosis of GH in Dec 2022, my GP advised me to stop taking my regular multivitamin as it contained iron. However I’ve found it difficult to find something to replace it. Thanks in advance. 😀

FINALLY found a scientific study that supports my theory about Brain Iron and Serum Iron. Finally!!!
First, the relevant quote from the article: “The serum iron concentration was significantly higher in the RLS group than in the control group, but remained within normal ranges in both groups. In this study, there was a significant correlation between serum and CSF iron concentrations, both in the RLS
