Iron and B12
Just caught the back end of a TV programme where a "doctor" was advising that an
iron
deficiency and vit B12 deficiency may be the cause of peoples T issues. Anyone been down this route or have I misheard the TV? Tried using search function in the forum but never found anything TIA

Low ferritin
My blood profile is good and my circulating
iron
levels are within range but my ferritin level is 5-6 ng/ml. Does anyone have an opinion on the effect of low ferratin on tiredness, motivation or mood? I suspect I have lost some of my drive since I was diagnosed.

Iron and ferritin advice requested
I have recently had a full set of
iron
and ferritin blood tests completed and would like some advice on the numbers, please (prior to these tests, only my ferritin levels have been tested). They result from early morning fasting with no
iron
supplements for one week.

TSAT low, ferretin high
My sleep medicine doctor suggested an
iron
infusion because my TSAT is 28,87% while my ferretin is 145,40ng/ml. I was taking
iron
supplement for 6 months before the test. I am not very knowledgeable about the difference between TSAT and ferritin.

Symprove for digestive issues?
I have had loads of scans, tests and consults and they all say nothing serious appears to be going on, so I have to put it down to low B12,
iron
etc. I am hoping once I start my injections it will help, but thinking about trying Symprove in the meantime.

Follow-up with haematologist
He affirmed my dosage of heme
iron
(40mg) and said I should keep on taking it. My haemaglobin was on the up. Will update in due course. I will send him the Wolfbuttall (?) article. I see him for a follow-up in November after another surgery blood test beforehand.

Hi Until December last I was taking 40 mg
iron
bisglycinate with orange juice every two days. Since this had little impact on my RLS I increased the
iron
dose to 40mg every day from December until now. As yet I have noticed little change to my RLS symptoms.

Extremely weak legs
The doctors have taken bloods and that’s shown I have low folate and borderline low
iron
, he prescribed me folic acid and
iron
tablets but it’s not getting any better if anything it’s getting worse! He has also done a referral to haematology.

iron

Monitor My Health iron test - lack of ranges
I spent a bit more money on my MMH test this year as I’ve never had an
iron
panel done but have always had low
iron
indicators on a full blood test.

Iron

Why am I experiencing migraines, muscle twitching and generally feeling poo 💩?!
(Oct 89.6)
Sodium 132 (133-146) Oct 136, Aug 132
So the question is- is this an
iron
issue? you can see serum
iron
is low (but high last October) TIBC is low but Transferrin saturation is high. Ferritin only just in range.

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.

CHRONIC INSOMNIA
I’m supplementing
iron
, folate, vitamin C, vitamin D, b12 injections, selenium, zinc, just started B complex (first time in years). I use melatonin & magnesium glycinate at the elusive bed time. I should be mid to optimal in vitamin levels.

Ferritin Questions
I am going to commence an
iron
supplement again, as although I am in range, it seems to be going the wrong way . Can I ask any of you who supplement with
iron
, what you take, (fumerate/ suplhate etc)which brand if there is one you favour, and do you ever have breaks from your
Iron
supplements ?

It's chief benefit is that it has fewer gastrointestinal side effects than the ferrous
iron
salts. Thanks.

Update on ferritin testing issue - private vs. NHS results
Although this is a measure of
iron
stores it is also a marker which goes up if there is any level of infection or inflammation occurring within the body and hence we often see a variation in results as it does not solely reflect the
iron
stores.'
