Speechless by my GP’s response
I messaged my GP surgery and requested a full thyroid blood test (not just TSH which is all I’ve been able to get since COVID) as well as
iron
, vits B and D tests. I’ve been feeling really rotten, and want to look at every potential reason.

Ropinerole to Gabapentin
Just for background, I have a very good Neurologist who is cooperative, I am 69 years, exercise regularly, eat 99% vegetarian, low BMI, and good
iron
counts, and also not sure it is relevant but live at altitude (7600 ft.). Thank you all for your responses and for this forum.

Your thoughts on this will be appreciated, please
Previously put on B12 injections,
iron
, D, probiotics etc which has helped a bit. Two years ago, did a Medichecks full thyroid test and all was fine. (I don't know what those results were, so as we know, 'fine' may not be applicable in our expereince!)

Somebody asked why I take Berberine. I figured it something good to share.

Success Story (so far, anyway)
Docs were a little useless but again research here helped a lot, and I slowly weaned off of it- took 6-8 months to fully get off the drug, and meanwhile tried the usual range of medications and alternative therapies- klonopin, gabapentin, pregabalin,
iron
tablets,
iron
infusions, acupuncture, deep massage

Has anyone ever defeated RLS?
Has anyone either found a medication or had an
iron
infusion and been "cured" completely? If not, what helps control it, how long you've taken/used it for? Has anyone ever had a GP or healthcare provider understand what RLS is and how to treat it from the first visit?

Anyone here on hydrocortisone and thyroid meds?

need advice
I know I’m not absorbing it and I have had the same problem with
iron
. I’ve had gastroscopies which show chronic gastritis. This has been going on for 25 years and I feel I’ve always been existing and never felt 100% well.

Hello all, I’m 16 weeks pregnant now and as it’s my first pregnancy I’m not sure whether I should just go for
Iron
, Protein, Calcium supplements or wait for my midwife to suggest.

Ferritin levels
So I know this isn't "normal" for folks with RLS and I image the GP will put me on
iron
supplements as she wanted it to be above 100. I started "gentle"
iron
every other day 2 weeks ago as I knew the last time my levels were 60. How long before my levels will be raised to over 100? TIA

Dr's Appointment
He has reduced dose from 100/75 to 75 and said that I can take
Iron
pills for extreme tiredness even though my
iron
levels are fine, but my ferritin is low. I would appreciate your opinions on this as I thought you shouldn't take
Iron
in this case 🤔

the curse of lifelong RLS…
I eventually had the blood test, ferritin was low at 19 ng/ml and, refusing an
iron
transfusion, he prescribed a course of oral
iron
which I took for many years. At my request when I was 54 a kinder GP referred me to the neurology department at Kings College hospital London.
