Low Ferritin and raised Iron
I have always struggled to get my ferritin levels up. I’m into nutrition so eat the right stuff, including meat daily and have eaten liver pate until I’m sick of the sight of it! Ferritin was 30’s-40’s (30-200) and I thought I’d try a 14 mg iron supplement and it has raised to a record high of 57!

anyone have achy legs
I’m learning so much from reading everyone’s posts. Unfortunately I am still trying to figure out what is going on with my legs. I know I have a component of RLS as my legs feel like a “current” is running through them when I am sitting for long periods, watching Tv in evenings and laying in bed.

Wobbly iron will 😠
Weeks 1 to 3 managed to keep to my January pledge and ran twice a week. The weather, work and will (iron will especially is something quite new to me!) all were wobbly this week. Was determined not to let the week pass without running at all, so stuck to my guns, wouldn't be swayed by offers to go shopping

Hello, does how quickly you feel better after initial b12 injection(s) and iron infusion depend on your deficiencies severity?

RSL advised would be appreciated
Hi I have RSL for over 12 years now, doctor said to take iron tablet and that didn’t work. It been getting worse by the year, I had to stop driving because I almost got in to accident. Ended up leaving university because of RSL. Now I can’t even sleep through a night properly and it’s just so frustrating

Tired all the time
Lately I feel tired all the time, from when I wake up to when I go to bed in the evening, despite the fact that I sleep more than 8 hours per night. I take a lot of supplements (calcium, D3, folate, complex B, magnesium glycinate, heme iron),
the only value that was low was ferritin
but I do take

more blood results help
hi again, I’ve had further bloods taken after starting levothyroxine in July 2023. The doctor refused to do full bloods so only did TSH & vitamin D. They started me on 100mg of levothyroxine and I also took all the suggested supplements After 8 weeks I didn’t feel much better so increased to 150mg.

Medichecks results, please advise
Hi Everyone, posting my 1st ever private blood tests. Please can anyone comment, I'm quite new to this. The results came with a Dr's overview, so I'll be taking Vit D supplements but the other results appeared 'normal'. What do you think? And do the autoimmunity antibodies indicate Hashimoto's or am

Advice on new bloods following T3 trial - Improvement in T3 😃 but v low TSH 🙁
My latest blood tests are below. I’ve had these done as I’m due for annual GP bloods in a week and wanted to know more than simply my TSH. I’ve been trialling T3 (sourced privately) and this has made a big difference, my % through range is much improved. I’ve been feeling better - less exhausted, fewer

I developed strange heavy lower leg sensation in 10/23; always been very healthy active 54 year old female. This issue coincided with a lower back flare up after playing pickle ball. MRI revealed a small disc bulge at L4-5 but no one was sure if these symptoms were related. I also got brain MRI

Have been following posts, have studied Mayo Clinic, been back to rlshelp.org Have read Dr Earlys research , follow several Rls groups . I have done the DAs (unfortunately) The side effects of Gabapentin and Pregabalin far out way the benefits. Iron is good, I get infusions as needed. I use Magnesium

GP Levothyroxine review appointment today
Today I had my appointment with the GP to review my Levothyroxine. He introduced himself as the GP that I am registered with not the one I was told I would see. He is Indian and even using the microphone that bluetooths directly into my hearing aids he was very difficult to understand. Several times
