Interesting article on iron, fortified foods etc
In my inbox today from Mark Hyman Most people are aware of the importance of iron but less aware of the nuances associated with it—and where potentially problematic sources might be lurking in our diet.

Low Ferritin and hair loss, would appreciate advice please
Hi All Would be so grateful for advice on my blood tests and also desperate for advice on how to raise my ferritin levels without upsetting my stomach. I have been taking Levothyroxine for about 8 years, current dose 50mg/75mg on alternate days. I understand little about thyroid hormones but am trying

Low iron first time in years despite supps
Hello, I just had an iron panel done as it turned out my iron is 4% of range.... 55 (50-170)! Ferritin better at 30% range, but still not great. I used to take Floradix and my iron was over midrange on it, then took 60 mg Actiferol (ferric pyrophosphate) in powder from the pharmacy for couple of months

An update on fluoxetine withdrawal and RLS
Last month I posted a question about SSRIs (specifically fluoxetine) and RLS. I’ve been trying again to withdraw from fluoxetine, this time paying more attention to the half life of the drug and tapering more gradually. I’m encouraged to report that my RLS seems to be reducing. It now starts later in

Another half marathon 12/9/21 💜
The last 3k was tough going, had a few Paula Radcliffe moments along the way 🤣 fuelled by Percy 🐷, coconut water with a pinch of sea salt (used too much salt during first HM which acts as an enema - lesson learnt 😂) Well happy, ran another half marathon 12/9/21 especially as since first one on 11/

Iron supplementation and flares
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has any experiences of adverse reactions to iron supplementation? I am not diagnosed with RA but have a MCTD which has features of RA, Lupus and Vasculitis. I have been on hydroxychloraquine for about 3 years which has helped a lot. One of the problems I have experienced

Everything is playing up in turns!
I was interested to learn about Epsom salts, thank you. Any tips for hips? Peripheral nerve damage in the legs & a degenerative spine are standard, and being taken care of as well as poss. But a really dodgy knee (recorded) and now these hips jumping in, have resulted in me flaked out in the chair

Iron advice please
My RLS flared up last summer out if the blue and it looks like it’s here to stay 🥲 I’m 43. I had a blood test to check my ferritin levels and the result was 30. I’ve been taking 1 x 200mg of ferrous sulphate daily ever since (on and off but mainly on!) I’ve just had another blood test and the level

These are at front & side of leg & toes curl up.Nothing seems to help but walking around for a good 15 mins.No fun at 4 in the morning.

Gentle iron supplements
Can anyone recommend a iron supplement that is gentle on the stomach and doesn't make you constipated, but is also a decent dose? I'm on ferrous sulfate from the doctor having lost a lot of blood in a c section 9 weeks ago, and my levels are still not great (33 ug/l, range 13-150), so I need a good dose
