Does anyone use ‘Active Iron’ in UK?
I searched for ferrous bisglycinate on Amazon UK which came up with Active
Iron
25mg. I’ve now received it and found it contains ferrous sulfate 25mg! Now I don’t know if this is the right product or dose. Can anyone help?

Urgent help needed. Extremely severe RLS, cannot identify cause.
Did every possible test related to RLS (
iron
, vitamin D, etc) except for for transferrin saturation and serum
iron
because it wasn't available in the labs in my area. I live in a really rural area and the nearby labs do not offer these tests. The results themselves are good/within range.

NDT toleration
My adrenals/
iron
are ok but NDT (just 1/2 grain) makes me anxious,heart palpitations,sleep issues. But on this amout of NDT I am not hyper. What can be problem? It is worth to try syntetic FT4 only or FT3 only? Thank you for your advice.

Low levels of iron good for us?
Hey, folks, been coming across articles talking about how our bad cells crave
iron
and in fact can cause
iron
deficiencies by using it up. Many supplements are
iron
chelators, including turmeric. Anyway, just got
iron
results back and they are on the very low end of normal.

How long to stop iron supplements before iron blood test?
I’m getting my
iron
and ferritin levels checked. Does anyone suggest how long one should stop supplementing with
iron
before these blood tests? Thank you!

Update again again again!
I don't have any vitamins as this was an NHS test, however, I am keeping my finger crossed that we are also getting somewhere on that also, although I have been supplementing
iron
tablets (away from the Levo), I don't think they are effective.

Iron Levels
I have been advised that my
iron
levels are high and he may need to refer me back to Christies for them to look at but he wants to do another blood test in 8 weeks first to see what is happening. He kept telling me not to worry at this stage (which I wasn't), but wondered what this could be?

New test results
Iron
is usually high or good. So these deficiencies would fit with hypothyroidism. Biochemistry Magnesium 0.95 (0.7 - 1.0) mmol/L Hormones Cortisol (Random) H 673.0 (6am - 10am 166 - 507 nmol/L, 4pm - 8pm 73.8 - 291) She did the cortisol test on waking up, early morning.

Any others with endo had an Autoimmune/positive ANA and CTD screen (with anemia)?
A few months back I was tested for a bunch of things due to extreme fatigue and what looked to be a butterfly facial rash, and it turned out not only my
iron
levels were on the floor (5!)

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.

No support for Dipipanone and Cyclizine withdrawal.
I asked whether I needed
iron
,was told I wasn't anaemic but I had had a blood test and I am anaemic! Told the Dr. I couldn't take the Ferrous Fumarate but she prescribed it anyway. I have Fentanyl patches 12mcg and now have Oramorph 2.5 ml twice a day which doesn't touch my pain.

My iron and Vit/Mineral results for interpretation please.
Panel - can someome help with this? I haven't been supplementing
iron
, and don't have the Haemochromatosis gene. Transferrin saturation is above top of range - is this important? My thyroid hormones have also dropped and I'm asking on TUK group for help there.
