Which test - Medichecks or Monitor My Health?
I don’t have Hashi’s (as far as I am aware anyway) and apart from thyroid function I need to know where my vitamins and
iron
levels are (hair has been falling out and not growing). Thanks all. I’ll let you know if I successfully prick myself and make myself bleed 🙄

Weening off Pramipexole to start Gabapentin
My
iron
levels are high and checked regularly. My symptoms are keeping me awake now and I expect after so many years it will take some time to ween off Sifrol. My Dr. is wonderful but we have worked together all these years and he is no expert on RLS.

RLS during in the morning and during the day when trying to take a nap?
But these 2 months of
iron
seemed to have helped a lot, there are bad days when she can't handle RLS, and for that she takes a very small dose of Clonazepam that helps. So she is about to have her bloodwork done to check ferriting and the whole
iron
panel.

Low Ferritin
If the ferritin is low, do I need to have other
iron
tests? And how hard is that to convince a GP to do? I don't want to go through the drain of fighting to see the GP if they aren't going to do anything anyway.

Iron test - unsure how to interpret results
I was advised to get a full
iron
test done after a test for thyroid levels was within range. I'm trying to determine the cause of severe fatigue and muscle pain, twitches, digestion issues, headaches, pins & needles.

Besremi One Year Update
As a result, I do have some
iron
in my body. CMP was all within normal ranges. And finally, my recent JAK2 allele test shows a small decrease in the % of allele burden. It was 56.18 right after I started Besremi and is now 51.89.

Did anyone see the Nightwalkers Fall magazine?
Most of the issue was about
iron
and RLS. Had several good articles but a couple of things I had not heard before, or at least I don't remember. When doing a full panel
iron
and especially ferritin levels, if you have had an infection or inflamatory process (?), wait 6 weeks before testing.

Feeling hopeful.
I asked for blood tests for VitaminsD and B12 and
iron
. I found out consultants had asked for a raft of tests too so I got the whole lot done together. She also referred me to the sleep clinic and prescribed a new spray for my sinuses.

b12 deficiency symptoms
Plus

Back issues causing rls
I've never thought my rls was caused by lack of
iron
but I've often thought it was coming from my back. Same symptoms just different cause. I was on 400 mg gabapentin, highest 800mg. I'm now reducing this and find I can without any real problems. I'm now on 200mg taken around 6pm.

Update 7.2
On the whole the news continues to be good, with a bit of a caveat or two As my
iron
levels increase, so does the erythropoiesis. Not a surprise, just basic PV
iron
physiology. While I have been hovering above and below goal of 45%, the last two reads were 46.0 and 47.9.

How to take Levo before a blood test when I split my dose, and feritin level
I am now taking Spatone liquid
iron
, but feel it may take some time to build my feritin level up. Any ideas what else I can take to boost
Iron
. I have started eating liver and minced beef, despite not being a fan of red meat. I normally eat fish and veg. beans, pulses etc.

Anaemia following venesection for PV…advice
I asked if there was anything I can do but just said do not take
iron
. Of course I will not touch it. Due to see her in 3 months. She has taken JAK2 again as wants to check AB which is below 3 therefore she is questioning PV again in line with WHO criteria.
