Magnesium for RLS
Merry Christmas! While I've said the below in various Replies, I thought I'd put it in a post. I've been taking at least 400mg a day of magnesium citrate for some years now, since I had it recommended to me by a relative: 600mg a day initially stopped my RLS within days, and 400mg a day (the amount suggested

how much gentle iron?
what dose should i start on… i have bought iron bisglycinate 20 mg. But have been recommended 320 mcg ferrous sulphate. So very confused at the different levels. How do these figures relate to each other? And do you have to take gentle iron on an empty stomach? The bottle says to take with food. Any

Help for extreme pain in thighs and arms
I took my last prednisone tablet mid May (GCA diagnosed late April 2019); cortisol test in June was 203 (reference range in Canada is 135-537); 380 in September so my adrenal glands are well on their way to recovery. I have been on Actemra injections since October 2019, now every three weeks (until January

Iron/ferritin deficiency
Hello! Does anyone know how long it might take for ferrous sulphate 200mg 2x to have any effect on fairly severe RLS symptoms if it is caused by iron deficiency? Cheers!

Unbearable itching! Any ideas to calm it down?
Hello all, I started with ET but now have PV and have been on Peg for about 6 weeks with phlebotomies occasionally. My Hematocrit has gone down but my platelets are going up so the MPN Dr wants me to take Hydroxyurea at 500 2-3 times a week with low dose of Peg at 60. He really wants me back on hydrea

Thank you - ferritin levels. 😀
I just wanted to say Thank You - because of this site, especially Sue and Joolz, my consultant has advised my GP to give me ferrous sulphate every other day and check my ferritin levels in 3 months' time. If my RLS is still bad or ferritin still less than 100-200, they may do an infusion! And I live

Week 9 run 3 - DONE!
Last run of the programme completed this afternoon, in bright sunshine. I'm particularly pleased that I've managed to finish as I originally started the C25K back in May but had to stop as I had injured my back. It would be over 8 weeks before I could begin to run again, starting over at Week 1.

Iron panel results
In early Sept my ferritin came back: 25.9 (10-291) so I asked for an iron panel. I am a bit confused by the transferrin result as I have read that if low iron then transferrin should be high? Mine is below range. Oct 22: Ferritin: 28.9 (10-291) Iron serum: 13.7 (9-30.4) Transferrin: 2.42 (2.5

Help please.
last night my right leg started jerking around 8pm. Had a bath with Epsom salts. Took medication around 9.30, legs still jerking in bed under weighted blanket. No sleep. Got up to read and do stretches. Waited until 1.30 to take extra codeine. Right leg continued to jerk. Had another bath with Epsom

New interloper from a neighbouring forum - advice please
I’ve put a very potted history in my bio. My question is- of the recent blood results, which would be the most useful to post seeking guidance from you knowledgable folk? I seem to have had everything and chips done by GP- not complaining.- and started a course of B12 injections. But from the results

is there a good time of day to take your b12 shot
So we have been given permission to do B12 shots at home combined with 200 mg ferrous sulphate and 20,000 of Vit D by our GP who will be doing further diagnostics in the mean time...the one thing I forgot to ask him is if there is a good time of day to take the B12 shots...morning, before bed, before

Is it B12 deficiency, cortisol issues or COVID related?
I had Covid in March and since then have been feeling pretty much all of the rotten signs and symptoms I had when on T4 only as well as some more awful ones indicative of B12 deficiency. My ferritin vit D but especially B12 have all taken a dive. I have always had above range B12 without supplements.

ferrous sulphate giving me terrible stomach cramps
I'm really struggling with stomach cramps from ferrous sulphate.. my gp originally had me on 200g 3 times per day... when my level rose from 17 to 60 he said to stop taking them. Within a week my ferritin had dropped to 38 so I'm back to taking just 200g once a day. Has anyone else tried ferogloblin
