Help with iron test results please
Hello- I would be most grateful if anyone could give me some feedback on my iron test that I have just got back. I’ve been supplementing with solgar iron bisglycinate since my last test in a November when my ferritin was 44. I’m about to start 3 arrows haem iron that has been recommended on this site

Iron metabolism in RLS : iron transporter ferroportin & Magnesium Malate
Editing to preface: The important subject of iron metabolism deserves a much better post than this. I apologize for how confusing, messy, and inconsistent it is. Please disregard it or take it with a grain of salt. I would erase it but out of respect for the comments made, I wont. I cut and pasted

Lactobacillus reuteri , Mucuna Pruriens , and magnesium malate to treat RLS
Hello, Newbie to the forum wondering if Mucuna Pruriens is used by people on this forum? Magnesium Malate , which helps the iron cross the BBB? And Lactobacillus Reuteri? (Recommended for RLS by Dr. Will Davis)

Blood test results
My daughter recently had some blood tests done due to tiredness and dry skin. Her ferritin is low and her TSH isn’t ideal. Her vitamin D was poor. Her ferritin was 23 (30-200). I have in my head that other bloods should be done to confirm iron tablets are required. The gp has prescribed iron tablets

A (failed?) attempt to stop thyroid medicines.
Hi, everyone. Sorry for the long post... I've been on thyroid hormone replacement since almost 4 years. I started euthyrox on the advice of my gp when my TSH was 2.89 (0.27-4.20). My antibodies were also slightly elevated (TPO: 112 [0-34]) and they remain on this range until today. Back then I was

RLS and iron metabolism and treating with dopamine agonists causes dopamine burnout
“That is exactly why almost any doctor you see prescribes dopamine-stimulating drugs for restless legs.But this logic is flawed, and even they know this. Here’s why.The biggest problem with restless legs is the bulk of your receptors that are SUPPOSED to receive dopamine aren’t receiving it. [2] Restless

Checkup of multinodular goitre at ENT
I have a checkup of my multinodular goitre at the end of Feb 2023 and I would like some advice please on what to be asking when I’m there. When it was identified almost two years ago I went on the 2ww . Thankfully it wasn’t cancer but I was so worried I didn’t ask many questions. Further info/Background

any advice please
I’m having the weirdest of times just now.. I redid all my anemia testing ,it had been a year since I did them so as I thought my iron was maybe too low and that’s why I felt tired all the time I thought I’d have it all checked and also Dr K at the infusion centre in Cambridge advised me to do them

17 hour flight
I have been invited to a wedding in Louisiana later this year. My RLS is still problematic but manageable at home with Buprenorphine and Pregabalin and walking around / standing up. I am doubtful about the 17 hours flights. I can't ever remember going that long without several attacks of RLS. I've

Blood tests and supplement advice please if you have a minute.
Hello everyone, I posted this a little while back but no comments so trying again, I know everyone is busy but I find help here invaluable. I am hoping I could get some advice on recent results. In late October I changed from 100-125mcg dose due to aches and sluggishness. Prior to this I had received

Query re. folic acid dosage and related issues
I’m still confused with regard to correct amounts of folic acid and B6 when injecting B12 EOD or ED, assuming it’s for life. Is there a danger of overdosing folic acid or B6 do we know? Also not entirely clear about taking iron if spare folic acid becomes ferritin and is stored as iron. Or if this
