Need encouragement :(
I've had so many tests, worked on a myriad of things -
iron
infusion (didn't lift my crushing fatigue or didn't stop hairloss), estrogen prog patch, trying most meds multiple NDTs and synthetics, had several cortisol salivary and blood tests, acth, aldosterone, rt3 etc.

Does anybody know about Baclofen for RLS ?
I have been quiet for a few week's when my Ferritin levels were at 14 so a new Dr. put me on to
Iron
Sulphate and the level went up to 134 so they are wanting me to keep taking the
Iron
. I take a pill every other day with orange juice, thought it was helping my leg's and arm's but no !

Does iron in hard water interfere with levodopa uptake?
Is this the same form of
iron
that interferes with levodopa? Should we bring our own water, or is high
iron
in drinking water ok? Thanks.

Update on Weaning off of Pramipexole
Per the advice of this forum, I am also now taking an
iron
supplement and Vitamin B6. Good luck to everyone out there trying to get off any DAs.

Uncooperative GP
Since then I have seen a haematologist who has been a great help with
iron
and a blood transfusion which has made me feel a lot better. But I'm still tired all the time, with pins and needles in my hands and feet, and terible cramps in my thighs and hands.

Late as usual: Aberfforest -- the easy way to the other side
It looked directly over an
Iron
Age fort, Pen Dinas, which I used to walk to frequently when I was a student. It brought back pleasant memories.

Good news re. blood tests
Red platelet count is still quite high 479 and also Serum
iron
level which was 47.5, so not sure whether that would indicate the need to cut the
iron
supplement back Now all I need to know is when I can stop taking the ferrous sulphate, or if there should be a reduction in the amount per day.

First time posting here with questions
I see an endocrinologist privately who treats my Hashi's and he recommended
iron
infusions but I can't get it ordered under my insurance because my blood counts and hemoglobin are in the normal range.

She has been on

Recommendations for Iron panel?
Hello, Does anyone use an
Iron
Panel test which they can recommend? We have used Medichecks but got in such a pickle with the ferritin ranges/versus NHS ferritin range and results that I am looking for another company. Or to be honest it may have just been me who couldn't work it out.

Does this sound like Hashimoto's please?
I have had periods of diffuse hair loss, (eventually diagnosed as Telogen effluvium with crashing
iron
levels too). I am now starting to lose the outer edge of my eyebrows, my skin and scalp itches and as I say, my energy levels and mood can feel low some days.

Iron Panel Interpretation
My results: -
Iron
, Serum: 74 mcg/dL - TIBC: 267 ug/dL - Percent Saturation Transferrin: 28% - Ferritin: 176.0 ng/mL Assuming the units of measurements for ferritin are what you expect, apparently my numbers are OK? And if so, it's not
iron
issues causing my PLMD?
