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

Depressed and desperate
I haven’t written in a while but I read all of the comments. New neurologist who aligns with the mayo clinic philosophy. After a painful weaning off of pramipexole I was actually doing great on 1200 mg of gabapentin and .50 mg of clonazepam. I take oral iron and my ferritin level is around 52, which

Low ferritin question
Hi. Would be grateful for advice. My (adult) daughter had always suffered from anaemia to some extent. Last year her B12 came back at 119 and she had a course of injections. Recently she had been feeling weak, tired and with palpitations and tachycardia, so had blood tests. B12 was 300 and ferritin

Ferrous sulphate tablets 200mg - any advice much appreciated
Hi, I had my iron levels checked which came back as ferritin: 8 ug/L and given a prescription for ferrous sulphate 200mg. The box is saying to take 2-3 times a day on an empty stomach, or avoiding certain foods (milk, grains, tea, coffee) I'm pregnant and having extreme nausea and sickness, nibbling

Takes time but getting better
It is a long and often painful journey but my experience is that I/we am/are getting quite a lot back brainwise but very slowly. At the moment I'm on immune suppressants to stop my brain inflaming itself and any infection is potentially fatal. I'm also on anti-biotics to treat a water infection or UTI

Low iron levels
I have been put on Ferrous Sulphate tablets because my serum ferritin was only 11 (lower limit of normal is 15) It was picked up from a routine blood test but I have been even more fatigued than ever for some while now, had palpitations and I am naturally pale skinned. Does anyone know if this is a consequence

Tramadol Tolerance
I have had severe RLS for over 10 years, was initially on dopamine agonists (until I augmented!) and been on Tramadol (100mg/day) plus Gabapentin (1200mg/day) for over 8 years. My Ferritin level is usually about 75 so I am currently trying to raise it. I tried Bisglycinate for 3 months without any improvement

Iron Bisglycinate versus Liquid Ferrous Sulfate
Hello oh wise ones. I’m constantly here lurking in the back and rereading posts to take info back to my doc. My doc has very little knowledge of RLS but she is very open to all your information so I’m eternally grateful. Been trying to up my ferritin for the last year. Started at 8 and now a year later

Can anyone help me with hair loss?
The picture is from a hair wash this morning. It comes out in little clumps each time I rinse my hair. I have hypothyroidism and had my thyroid out 8 years ago. I take thyroxine 150mcg and have blood tests every 6 months to check my levels. I've been given ferrous sulphate 200mg and take this every day

Epsom salt bath
I have AF and mostly controlled raised blood pressure, so my question is can I use Epsom salts to soak in a a bath? I have heard it can really help with muscular aches and pains, plus is it a way to get magnesium into the body? My lad tells me it’s also really relaxing ☺️ Thank you .
