RLS in legs and arms
My ferritin levels are high so Dr. doesn't think that testing for
iron
brain absorption is helpful. Take magnesium and Vit. B at night. Any opinions would be welcomes. Thanks and good luck to everyone suffering from this debilitating syndrome.

Recent blood test results advice please
I have just received some blood test results, having had an
iron
infusion in October 2023, I would love advice please, bearing in mind my serum ferritin is still over reference range. I have not taken
iron
tablets since the
iron
infusion.

Serum ferritin too high?
I had an
iron
infusion a few months ago and this is my new level. I have been feeling very anxious, having panic attacks, not sleeping etc... and was wondering if it could be because of this? At the same time of the infusion I began SI B12 EOD for 6 weeks.

I stopped taking
iron
until can get full
iron
test done. My ferritin in Nov was 57. I did try and go back to my GP but no luck as I am in range. Thanks 😊

Starting levothyroxine- which brand?
I also take a bunch of supplements; Vit D, B complex, selenium, magnesium,
iron
; do they all need to be taken away from the Levothyroxine? And I understand that it can’t be taken with food, but could it be taken with a decaf tea…? Not sure that I could be awake for very long without tea!

Iron
is low. My g p keeps saying it’s mental health issues but surely that cannot make my bloods deranged. She did an e consult to hepology and he said I ve clearly not damaged my liver but with an alt of 97 and ggt of 500 how can he say that ? Any feedback would be appreciated x

Iron Infusion Side Effects?
A week ago hematologist recommended
iron
infusion of a different blend than I had once before quite a while back. That infusion was difficult after for having cardio side effects and headaches with minor offsetting positive effect.

UK General Election. Campaign for better Treatment of RLS
Iron
therapy, including
iron
infusions should be available as first line treatment and GPs should know the extensive list of medications that actually trigger and worsen RLS, including anti depressants, sedating anti histamines, statins, beta blockers and PPI meds.

will it ever get better
I take no other meds except for an
iron
supplement. My
iron
and ferretin have been checked regularly and I can’t recall the result but they were above the levels recommend but the Aus medical guidelines for rls.

Low iron, supplementing with 3 Arrows
Hi everyone, I posted about a week ago after having
iron
studies done through the NHS, it came back that I wasn’t
iron
deficient enough to be treated by a doctor, but my levels were definitely low enough to start treatment since I’m already experiencing symptoms and don’t want to get worse…..

Weight Loss Plateau
I take daily multivitamins with
iron
, vitaminc c and b12. I've lost 22 pounds so far but my progress has completely stopped for the last month, no loss. Any ideas on how best to overcome a plateau?
