which way to go (severe RLS)
Might have an
iron
infusion next week. We found she was B12 deficient and she had several injections and is now taking a supplement. Now an interesting point.

blood test back - any thoughts?
So now I am off all my meds, and started taking 200mg
iron
a night a month ago, my ferritin level just came back as 80, which I was quite surprised. The last one in 2020 was over 120. Should I double the dose and split it through the day or take 2 tabs before bed?

Strange bunch of chronic conditions?
My kidney scores are better now, almost normal, but I'm a little anemic with low
iron
and low platelets and low various other white and red blood cells that they measure, but normal ferrirtin (
iron
stores).

Acne and thyroid issues
I was having heavy period but with
iron
tablets the situation seems improved. Not sure what to do at the moment with my thyroid level. My GP is only checking the TSH and it seems ok to him

My Story for private endocrinologist - what Qs to ask? 🤔
Treatments -
Iron
deficiency anaemia is now well treated, under nhs haemotology since February 2022 (letter) long term for regular
iron
infusions when ferritin gets low (last one Sept 2022), I can only tolerate 10mg
iron
with vitC daily due to gastro issues.

GP Update
Will put a blood form out tomorrow for
iron
, B12 etc and then look at increasing Levothyroxine by 25mcg. They did try saying about TSH being within ‘normal’ range, however I was able to talk about T3/T4 etc. So thank you to everyone that has reached out and replied to me.

Understanding a LIVER MRI report regarding IRON (or not)
It said moderate to acute NASH 19% fraction etc, but said nothing abt
IRON
. I noted the script from GP said "reason for MRI=elevated liver enzymes" wish it also said High ferritin (4 x over 800) and suspected
iron
overload.

PERIODIC LIMB MOVEMENT DISORDER
I would like to report that I have been taking the
iron
supplement every other day with orange juice. Also am taking 300 Gabapentin. I did a sleep study last year and it showed that the PLMD is not disturbing my sleep as it is now at a moderate amount.

, there's plenty of articles online saying what could be a cause, including some blood pressure tablets but no advice how to help/cure

Q I am going to talk to the doc tomorrow and will ask for Hba1c and B12 plus
iron
