update and advice please
While my vitamin and
iron
levels are not yet optimum - still a work in progress - and given my recent results I am considering doubling the dose every day.

follow up to previous post. Help please.
GP said he had done FT3/FT4 but he hadn’t so we requested GP to do FT3/FT4 which is below and full
iron
panel. Taken 15/1/24. she takes 175mcg Levo liquid daily. Done tests early morning empty stomach. Over the years I’ve noticed the TSH has improved and this is the lowest it’s ever been.

Gabapentin and Oral Iron
When taking
iron
supplements on alternate days (
iron
bisglycinate 25mg) and using gabapentin nightly, how far apart should the
iron
and gabapentin doses be on the days that I take the
iron
?

Medichecks bloods with some very low/high bloods. Appt with GP 4th March to discuss.
Putting this up here as we have an appointment with the GP to discuss these results and I want to push perhaps to 112.5 or 125 mcg Levo, Vitamin D,
Iron
etc. Helen is classed as vulnerable to Covid and is also taking OTC Zinc and Selenium.

Gabapentine or Pregabalin?
My
iron
panel results are consistently good. I do take an
iron
supplement. I also take losartan and co-amilazide to regulate my blood pressure.

Floradix and Hemoglobin
My husband's
iron
levels have always run on the low side and now with the CLL pushing down on his hemoglobin and platelets combined with a reduction of heme-
iron
in our Macrobiotic diet, I see the need to supplement.

Iron, estrogen & RLS
I think there is some correlation between high estrogen and high
iron
. My serum
iron
level is fairly high (155), while my ferritin is fairly low (51). Because of my high
iron
, my
iron
saturation is faily high (46%).

RLS in MS patients
The study suggests it may be caused by low brain
iron
, inflammation or spinal cord scarring. Those on higher efficacy MS drugs (Ocrevus & Fingomolid) seem to have worse RLS than those on the older, less effective MS drugs(Interferons, Aubagio) which is the opposite of what I would expect.

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.

Diagnosis at last! Haemochromotosis?
However the biggest surprise was a diagnosis of haemochromotosis which is a rare genetic blood disorder that causes a build up of
iron
in your organs, often liver and pancreas. He is starting venesection treatment for that shortly. Anyone got any experience of this?
