Only temporary respite from IV iron?
Back again - thought I was done with RLS after my iron infusion but seems like the respite was only temporary. Presently having symptoms from dawn until dusk, though some days are worse than others. Iron IV was 6 weeks ago; have just had bloods drawn for an iron panel so will see my neurologist when

Itchy skin with no rash
Wondering if anyone else has itchy skin? I've been SI B12 for a year and been feeling much better for the last 3 months, so reducing injections to 1 per week (sometimes less). However, in the last few weeks I have had terribly itchy skin, particularly around my front trunk but also in my scalp, hands

Which test - Medichecks or Monitor My Health?
I am plucking up the courage to do a finger prick test after some positive feedback from my earlier post, thanks everyone for the replies.

Infusion how long to "kick in"? Hehe.
I finally got my iron infusion (yay!) but it hasn't "kicked in" yet. No pun intended. Last night I had one of my worst yet. Zero sleep and threw up water & zofran all night. When I had my infusions in 2020 I was fresh out of COVID hospital and quite ill with pleural effusions... plus having been

Hey, I posted up about having some blood tests, well I went in this morning and had them done. I also didn't take my iron tablets since Saturday and I didn't take any others I was on since Tuesday night. On the form T3 was missed out, I only had TSH and T4 on there, so I actually asked the lady that

Maybe I have more than PA...
So, I was diagnosed last year by a PA expert with functional B12 deficiency PA (non-autoimmune), and initially responded to 1ml B12 SI every other day. Then we consulted after 10 weeks or so and he asked me to reduce to every third day. I started to get an increases in symptoms after a few weeks. So

Very low iron at same time as previously controlled rheumatoid arthritis is now very much out of control.
I've been diagnosed with RA and Lupus for over 35 years. I went through most of the known drugs over many years before being accepted on Enbrel which was amazing and gave me back a quality of life I never thought I regain. However I was switched to Benopali under the assumption it was the same generic

Update 7.3 Good news this time
My HCT had been creeping up over time as my iron levels improved. 12/19 HCT=47.9% and HGB=15.5. Since it was now consistently above target for PV, time to do something. Unfortunately, the liver enzymes were close to 3x/upper limit of normal ALT=157, AST=94.0, ALP=211. We were all in agreement that
