Update and Adventure Buddy!
We thought it might be my
iron
levels, but hematology says that it's my MS. Neuro says it could be my
iron
, and wants to wait until I get my
iron
infusion, either this Friday or next, to see if it helps.

Iron Blood Test out of range - advice please!
I'm taking 2 x 20mg Thorne
Iron
Bisglycinate 25mg tablets on alternate days. Looking at my last results, things were going in the right direction then (having changed brand of
iron
and taking alternate days)...however does this result show I am now over supplementing?

When To move to Gabapentin
Hi through the wonderful information on this forum - -Thank you - I’ve managed to reduce pramipexole from 3 * 0.08 tablets down to 0.5 of a 0.08 tablet a night using
iron
every 2nd day. . I’ve also used 50mg Tramadol when symptoms were bad when reducing dose.

Rapid Heart Rate & Metallic Taste
I have had palpitations overnight and a strong metallic taste in my mouth since starting
Iron
tablets. I started B12 injections in November last year and have been on Ferrous Gluconate tablets now reduced to one every other day.

Decreasing iron levels despite taking iron
My new
iron
test shows it is now 14.5 umol/l (5.8 - 34.5) and on 4th September it was 17.7 umol/l (5.8 - 34.5). I have been taking
iron
drops every day (except for period of time before each blood test). Is this normal?

Ferritin and depression anxiety!
Clearly us hashi sufferers cannot absorb
iron
very well it seems.. I also avoid dairy and try my best to avoid gluten I eat sourdough bread or rye bread… My anxiety and depression is now back and I am sure it’s the low ferritin level!?

Please advise - symptoms worsening
Hi all, As you may remember from previous posts, I’m still borderline anaemic and so I increased my
iron
dosage as per instructions several weeks ago. My FT3 has also plummeted from a decade average of 6 to now 4.8 (range 3.1-6.8) I’m getting horrific migraines (they start with blinding auras).

Daridexorant / quvuviq and RLS
I am taking
iron
to raise my ferritin level above 19 (!) and didn’t want to take anything else such as gabapentin until I had ruled out whether low
iron
is the cause of the problem for me. Hopefully this sleep aid will help get me through this process. There has been a small study ..

Baby aspirin and iron tablets in IVF pregnancy.
My midwife prescribed 2 x 75mg aspirin and
iron
tablets at 12 weeks. I went to my 36 week appointment and had a completely different midwife and she has told me to stop taking both medications. Has anyone else taken these doses for an IVF pregnancy and been told to stop at 36 weeks?

B12 and Ferritin
It also regulates
iron
use). I will be monitored in four months with a full blood test including an
iron
panel and a further discussion with him. He asked me to begin using a sub-lingual
iron
spray in two months to help maintain
iron
levels. He was excoriating about the use of PPIs.

cytomel and food
My synthroid bottle has a warning on it about not taking it with
iron
or magnesium and taking an hour away from food or drink. My cytomel doesn't have the same warning. Can I assume that food and drink don’t interfere with absorption with cytomel? Many thanks!
