Positive Update
I previously asked on this forum for advice for my husband in relation to a rls specialist in Ireland. This led to loads of great advice and knowledge in relation to the management of his severe rls as per Mayo Clinic Algorithm. He started taking magnesium glycinate 400 mg, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3

Help with test results
Hi,I'm hoping to get insights into my latest test results and symptoms I continue to have. I had my thyroid out in 2012 (Graves), I'm located in Australia and currently taking 100mcg of Eltroxin and 16mcg of slow release (compounded) t3 daily. Around 2yrs ago I got quite sick, I had extremely heavy fatigue

Iron info
Iron and RLS - and you There is by now no question that iron therapy helps many if not most RLS patients. This has been proven in numerous studies, dating back to the 1950's. Yet nearly all physicians have never heard of the RLS-Iron connection, let alone how to treat it. Many patients who have

what I use now
First, you must get a doctor who will sympathize with your RLS condition. We have tried many medications, but what works for me now is a Neupro patch which I wear 24 hours a day. At night I take tramadol 50 mg and to Temazepam 30 mg. I take Ferrous sulfate 325 mg twice a week. You must work with

Iron Ferrous Sulfate & Vitamin C
I just had an appointment with my neurologist. My ferritin is good but my Absolute Lymphocytes was 1.3 (a bit low) and my Absolute Monocytes was .33 so he is recommending Iron Ferrous Sulfate (325 mg) and Vitamin C (500 mg) three times a day. Anyone else taking these. I also take Magnesium Glycinate

Your thoughts please?
Good morning one and all… It’s been a good long while since I’ve posted, so apologies for this mega volume of a message… I’ve been on Gabapentin for a good long while now… started off on 900mg now on 1200mg, but it’s no longer working effectively. Not keen to increase as I got bruising to my arms when

Running low on iron
I have been put on Ferrous Sulphate but I can’t use it. My blood test for ferritin is 44 ug/L & it is only that high because I ate red meat I did do in desperation because the test last year was 10ug/L. I am vegetarian & I have great difficulty eating meat it seems to be hard to process for me. Anyhow

Heme vs Non-Heme Iron Supplements
Since being diagnosed with low ferritin three months ago, I've been on ferrous sulfate tablets (1 - 65mg along with 500 mg vitamin C twice a day with meals). It's been working fine (went from 11 to 45 in a month) without any side effects. However, early on, I purchased a bottle of Three Arrows Heme after

Advice needed on iron/ferritin levels please
I'd be really grateful if anyone could advise on whether I need to be concerned about my iron/ferritin levels. I'm seeing a neurologist tomorrow and want to be well informed. I have results from my last three blood tests so hopefully that might help. Serum iron level: October 2023 - 7.7 umol/L; January
