is this a good plan?
In preparation for an appointment I have next month with my doctor, I have requested the full set of
iron
tests and she has prescribed them. I have, for 20 years or so, been borderline anemic. I am hoping that getting my
iron
levels where they need to be can go a long way to giving me relief.

iron levels
Hi all Has anyone had a private
iron
transfusion? I have low ferritin and can’t get it to increase, wondering about going privately to have a transfusion. Not sure how I’d go about it and what the criteria needs to be.

Ferratin level
My ferratin is in the 'normal' range but low and dropping, even though I have been taking oral
iron
spray daily, liquid
iron
supplement given by my doctor, high
iron
foods in my diet. I get days of complete fatigue, other days I can cope but not as much energy as I'm used to. Not sure what next?

Ferritin and folate levels
I had some blood tests run via the gp to check on my
iron
levels. They areFerritin 113 (30 -400) Folate >20 (3.8-26.8) which seem ok. I don't have a TSH and my T4 is minute caused by a non functioning pituitary. I want to increase my T3 but the Endos are horrified.

A Method To Increase Ferritin Level
Supplementing
iron
and eating
iron
rich foods will elevate it a bit more for me but what has worked the best is
iron
as a transdermal patch. These can easily be bought on Amazon.

Ferritin success, anyone wishing to try the same ... especially if vegan
A big thank you, and I hope you know who you are because I can't remember your name. 2) I've started supplementing with a different
iron
, this is called
Iron
Energy+ and is produced by Nutrition Geeks'. It contains Vitamins C, B12 and folic acid as well as
iron
. Best of luck

Right dose of Besremi
Additionally, I have a question regarding fatigue: When experiencing normal blood counts and
iron
levels, how can I ascertain if my fatigue is due to PV or it is from another cause, such as lack of exercise or something else ?

iron deficiency
Can anyone help me with my results? I have no gauge whether this is seriously low, or slightly low etc! This is in relation to a fibroid condition not thyroid potentially! Yes I’m super lucky right now!

Hi 👋
Long story short I was very unwell afterwards and lost almost 4 litres of blood, had 3 blood transfusions and half an
iron
infusion (started to react to it half way through!).... basically my health has been down the toilet ever since December.

Does anyone have any direct experience of Targinact?
My
iron
/ferritin/saturation levels are all being checked with a view to a Ferinject infusion, and my psychiatrist is kind, caring and knowledgeable, so I feel I'm in good hands. But I'm still terrified and wonder how much Targinact I'll need to take to get the RLS under control.

update and advice on flights
She has given me the form to get my
iron
tested but did say it would be difficult to get anybody to agree to an iv
iron
transfusion but let’s wait and see what my bloods come back as first.

Flare up for weeks
Watching what I eat and drinking lots of water, stopped the
iron
tab 3 days ago to try soothe things down. So far not much if any improvement. Got a doc app next week, but just feel totally fed up and anxiety through the roof.
