Newly diagnosed and confused
I already take
iron
and magnesium for anaemia and RLS. I sporadically take Vit D and Folic Acid when I remember!

I have to say I feel much better than I did last year having ditched the
iron
tablets off the doc and buying some Three arrows
iron
from the States which I have only been taking one a day for about 3 weeks.

Adenomyosis help!
They don’t want to
iron
test me or supplement me. I don’t really have much of a history with
iron
deficiency apart from in pregnancy but I just don’t know where to turn. There is such little information online and I keep being told there isn’t much research into it. How do you handle this?

My Start Page - What I've learned and do now.
Make sure your
iron
levels, all *4*
iron
parameters, are where they are supposed to be in the RLS world. If you believe or have been told that your
iron
is "normal" or "within limits" or "OK" it very well may not be. Get tested the right way and be sure to overnight fast.

My profile
It is believed that my low
iron
levels are a result of GCA and I am taking an
iron
supplement. I have taken a eye pressure test which was ok.

iron low reason ?
Hi all I saw my Gp again regarding the ferritin I’m on and it’s a low dose and I’m only little bit low in
iron
but now he wants to check if I’m bleeding anywhere ? So I have to do a home poo test to rule anything else lout ! But of course I’m worried sick now 😩

Stomach cancer
Blood tests revealed very low in haemoglobin and
iron
. She was given 2 infusion for blood and one for
iron
. She then went for endoscopy app. The girl who did the endoscopy was suspicious of malignancy in stomach. She noticed bleeding in stomach as well.

Celiac and CKD
I need procrit shots weekly just to keep my
iron
levels at the bare minimum. I’m not particularly interested in eating which may make the situation worse. If you have celiac and CKD how do you feel?

Cortisol tests
My
iron
& B12 are good, working on increasing vit D. I'm still tired/fatigued in the afternoon but since the last increase I am sleeping 7-9hour overnight, incredible. I generally feel much brighter than I did, more myself, and I'm due another Armour increase soon.

Thyroid results-Hashimotos?
Been supplementing
iron
/b12 over six months to see if improved anything but hasn't impacted results. I didn't take them for a week prior to testing latest bloods. Does this look like Hashimotos? Is there anything I can do to improve or manage?

Update on my journey of elimination
I have noticed my
iron
going down, my estrogen plummeting, glucose going up - had enough! This is what I have done: 1. Tried all meds under the sun, apart from T3 only (and this includes 2 different NDTs). 2. Had
iron
infusion in November in hope my lowish in range ferritin is contributing.

Could my iron supplement be causing weight gain?
I have been gaining weight despite being very careful in what I eat since starting my gentle
iron
supplement. A google search has come up with very mixed results re this. Not sure what to believe. Any advice?

Blood results
They are refusing any more than 3 monthly B12 as this falls outside guidelines and they have given me more
iron
tablets which I have already told them I can’t tolerate but because my Hb is normal, they won’t consider
iron
infusion.

Sudden recent darkness under eyes
I am thinking this is more likely a nutrient issue, like
iron
or B12 maybe? But haven't felt particularly fatigued so wondered if this can also be the result of CLL. Have any of you noticed this during your W&W? Thanks.
