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. And I am thinking this

Pet scan was clear for vasculitis
Pet scan did not show vasculitis but have to have a MRA of aorta but dr not too concerned I think. No panic for this scan which is next week. Also mri of brain due to heaviness. Could be connected to old ear problems but feels we should check. Also on letter blood test results Fe 4, ferritin 62,

B2 benefits for PD
I’ve basically done this same study I’ve linked to in this post since the first of December. 50 mg of b2 every 8 hours and no red meat. The study is 30 mg dose but I can’t find it. My b2 was very low. The test was very expensive but worth it to know. However with no side effects and being very cheap

To those who replied to my post last week here is an update re my visit to the Rheumatologist today which I wasn’t looking forward to. I was seen initially by the clinical practitioner who I find easy to talk to. I explained how I have been feeling since stopping Pred in January. Fatigue, lightheaded
