Help with blood results
Hi all I have taken iron tablets prescribed by my GP for over 15 years. My Ferritin levels were low when I was in my 20s and have taken iron tablets since then. I was really unwell last year with an unrelated illness and I haven’t taken my iron tablets for a few months. My results; Serum Iron levels

Less symptoms but still RLS sleep issues
I have supplemented iron for 4 months now and my RLS has reduced more and more but still have a bit of sleeping problems. I take no medications beside also Vitamin D. Last time my doctors checked my blood my ferritin level were in the normal range (around 140). Question is if I should continue taking

Ferritin levels
I have collected my blood test results and am looking for information before my g.p. follow up appointment tomorrow.I am under the impression that ferritin levels should be "optimum" in order for my B12 injections to work for pernicious anaemia. Although I've been told all of my blood results are "normal

MCV and supplement question
Hi all, I'm hypothyroid and frequently have MCV and MCH outside of range. In general I feel better supplementing with methyl Bs and have added folate. I want to ask though if there is anything concerning and how to address these results. Is my ferritin ok or are there additional tests to run? Thank

any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor

Folic Acid does not cause PA
I saw this article with responses about the consumption of folic acid. What do people think about the responses? Especially the one who says that there shouldn't be a limit to the amount of folic acid taken. https://www.bmj.com/content/329/7479/1376/rapid-responses I have been taking 5mg folic acid

I came across a brief article that discusses some aspects of this relationship. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34454714/ The article introduction includes the following statement: "To date, clinical guidance for best practices related
