Antihistamine and probiotics
My RLS is currently much more controlled than it was, after
iron
infusion and am taking Gabapentin 400 mg- though insomnia still bad (apparently also a symptom of long covid). Has anyone experience of using antihistamines or probiotic supplements?

Vitamin Supplements for PMR
I am thinking of taking ‘one a day’ vitamin D tablets and Multivitamins plus
Iron
(touch aneamic when blood tested). Wondering if these will help or hinder my PMR and if there are others I should consider?

iron
test in September, not till then, i am due to speak to the clinical pharmacist in mid august about taking HRT as i had an early menopause at 47. I was never offered HRT. So now i am clutching at straws… will these be the answer?

Reducing Besremi dosing
All was going well with several benefits which hadn't happened the past 18 months on Besremi: My JAK2 Allele dropped more than 20%, I have not needed a PB for months which means I now have normal
iron
numbers, and my RBC was in the normal range which it hasn't been since DX years ago.

Total confusion about Ferritin (Medichecks) results!

I can’t put my finger on it.,
My dad worked as an
iron
miner until they shut down in the early sixties. My mom stayed at home. There was never any problem drinking maybe an occasional drink at Christmas or a wedding but never saw knock down falling down drunk until I was married to my first husband. We all worked on the farm.

Further info on blood panel
Iron
- normal 4. Ferritin - 197. He wasn't happy about this and is sending me for a liver scan so now I'm crapping myself. Having said that I've looked at several NHS ferritin (high) ranges and they vary from 150-250 so what do I know. LFT was fine. 5. IFA - negative.

Almost There, Pramipexole to Pregabalin
I posted here back in early May when I was transitioning from Pramipexole to Pregabalin With the advice that I received here I decided to see my GP and have my
iron
checked also to discuss my next step in treating withdrawal from a DA. As it stands my
iron
levels are above the recommended numbers.
