D day is here!
After being left quite ill after a failed
iron
infusion, but made better by one which worked with a blood transfusion, feeling good. Thats not to say that there arent butterflies, of course there are. But had a good day yesterday, at Brisyol zoo watching the bears.

Confusing iron panel results
What is this supposed to mean and do I need to supplement with
iron
? I have been taking betaine HCL for 45-50 days now (1 capsule with breakfast, lunch and supper) and I think that may be this is why my
iron
levels are this high in range, so maybe my ferritin hasn't caught up to them yet?

At lunchtime I take Thyroxine as it has to be taken 4 hours apart from the
iron
. At night I take 300 mg of Pregabalin 2 hours before bed and 1mg Clonazepam just as I go to sleep.

has anyone gone back to t4 after trying thyroid-s?
Ive upped my
iron
as well this time round and was hoping that would help. I still wonder what I did wrong with the Thyroid-s and wish it could have worked, but maybe its not for everyone, ie me?

Iron infusion
I wondered if anyone has experienced nausea with an
iron
infusion and how long it took to feel better or if anyone has been nauseous with Inhixa jabs as could be them and made worse by the infusion? Sorry about the length of this.

Checking medication
I explained about too much/too little exercise, Gentle
Iron
and magnesium. He probably won't remember a lot but if he joins a RLS organisation HU he will soon find out so much more.

update on subacute thyroiditis
I also started B complex vitamins and
iron
supplements. I saw the consultant this week and my bloods show I may be tipping into hypothyroidism and I need to see if I get any symptoms and may need some supplementation with levothyroxine if my TSH rises.

Iron Levels
Also on would basis would I be able to justify an
iron
infusion as my doctor wasn't very keen when I mentioned it before. My RLS continues to gradually worsen so what would be my next change of drugs you would recommend. Thanks John

one last question ( hopefully)
I hope I can get him to do some tests, like size shape and number of red blood cells, intrinsic factor,
iron
and folate levels etc. Question is this : I have started to S/I with hydroxy, had 3 so far, will that slew all the test results or only the B12 levels?

I guess my question is from others experience and reading that pregabalin can take a few weeks is do i stick with it, up my dose, get off the horrible Ropinirole asap and push my Dr for more tests around
iron
and other things as this lack of sleep is making my life horrible and im getting headaches since

Starting B12 injections, how often?
I started on
iron
and folate tablets a week ago. What I'm wondering is how often should I be getting the B12 injection after the first one? (I am in Ireland). Thank you

Had an
Iron
Ferritin test last year of 103. I am due for a yearly physical with MD on Jan2 and thinking of asking for another
iron
test. I know y’all are busy with more serious cases but was wondering if you could educate me with your thoughts and opinions. Thank you.

Endoscopy/Colonoscopy
I'm still on the
iron
pills, but also added a natural supplement which I think has helped to keep me stable. My efgr went up a few months ago it 38 now it went up to 48 which I was in total shock.

Getting tested after taking any supplements...
I will also keep a close eye on my ferritin as he treated that too with an infusion (also
iron
flu is NO joke, but I have turned the corner finally), and my folate, plus my vitamin D which is insufficient.

Iron
/vit C to tackle my low ferritin (was 18ug/L in September23, now (March 24) 44ug/L range11 to 307) VitB12 injections (was 213ng/L in August - range above 203) - no new test on the basis

High TPO antibodies.
Cannot get anywhere with this - I am taking
iron
now as my
iron
levels were a little low, I also have 3 or 4 brazil nuts every day as many years ago I think someone told me it was a good idea for the selenium.
