Experiences with

Magnesium sulphate

Like many others, I had tried everything else, diet changes, lifestyle, iron, magnesium, blood work to check levels, epsom salts, OTC RLS remedies, gabapentin, pregabalin, exercise, and so forth, the list goes on.

He’s advised me to get some magnesium and that mum should take it for a month, or she could take one every other day. He said any magnesium supplement can be bought such as magnesium sulphate or citrate.

As suggested, I started taking magnesium but stupidly (I still don't know why) I ordered a mix which turned out to be mostly magnesium citrate and it upset my bowels (which are partly removed). It stated that it was all fully reacted, etc, etc.

Hi I have recently had all my bloods done below are the results with the expected range in brackets. Last month the doctor discussed referring me to the endocrinologist but today the doctor (a different one) said he wants to wait another 8 weeks for a repeat bloods before any further action. I was

Please could I have some advice. I have found a doctor who is prepared to admit that I know more about restless legs than she does and will therefore listen to me. A blood test showed that my brain iron was below what it needed to be so she issued a prescription for ferrous sulfate. My problem is

I am now slightly anaemic and my gp has prescribed ferrous sulphate. Has anyone else had this? Might the anaemia be linked to sulfusalazine?

I managed to argue the ferritin and get some ferrous sulphate tablets.

He had low Hb and the GP prescribed ferrous sulphate which has helped him 100% and the breathing is now ok. He's doing really well and we went out today for a stroll - his first mile !!

I ask as my latest blood results have shown my iron is through the floor again (I have GAVE) so am waiting on iron infusions and they want me to trial ferrous fumerate as couldn’t cope with ferrous sulphate.

Plus Vit D supplements folate and ferrous sulphate. She was told she couldn’t have any more steroids.

Saw the neurologist yesterday, 6 months since first appointment when he put me on ferrous sulphate 200mg x 2 which I’ve been taking at night with vitamin C.

I am taking 200mg Ferrous Sulphate once a week as prescribed by my Doctor. I was originally on it daily but my dose has been gradually reduced over the course of the last year or so.

I’ve been taking 3 x 200 mg ferrous sulphate tabs every other day as you advised but I’m experiencing side effects that I could do without at the moment. I don’t want to reduce the overall dosage and I want to ask if 2 tabs taken once daily would be a reasonable and safe alternative.

I have found this information helpful and take my ferrous sulphate every other day now.

Since then I’ve felt increasingly unwell ( tired, light headed, occasional palpitations etc) and to add to my woes in September 2024 was diagnosed with anaemia and ferrous sulphate was added to my various potions.

Hi. About 7 months ago I was on 1mg of Ropinirole but got augmentation so came off it and started on Gabapentin. I’m on 1800mg but still wake up between 2-4am. I then take 1or 2 15mg Codeine and then fall asleep in about 30 minutes. Ive been taking ferrous sulfate for about 5 months now. The Dr said

Apologies if this is posted on the wrong site but I’m hoping for answers on a couple of basic questions relating to IDA and I’m not sure where to turn. During the Summer I felt increasingly fatigued and suffered dizziness on standing up plus occasional racing heart on the least exertion. My GP brought

I also take 100mg sertraline, 200mg ferrous sulphate, a vitamin C and a cod liver oil in the morning. many thanks Jason

I was diagnosed with seropositive RA in Jan 2024. I have been experiencing hair loss in the past few weeks and wondered if this could be related to RA or the medication I have been taking? I am currently taking sulfasalazine daily, methotrexate tablets weekly, tocilizumab injection weekly and tapering
