How much Iron Ferrous Sulfate?
My transferrin saturations is just at 20%. It was recommended I take Iron Ferrous Sulfate but confused at how much and how often. Would appreciate advice on this. Thank you!

Should I be pushing for further investigation? Help appreciated ❤️
Hi everyone, It's my first post here after watching over the last few weeks! I'm from the UK and having a bit of a mare getting my GP to seriously investigate what's wrong with me. I'd really appreciate your advice on my blood test results in particular. Apologies in advance for the essay 🙈. Skip to

Test results - I think I might have iron deficiency to add into the mix........
Hi everyone, I've updated my story and where I am. Still struggling to move forward with severe fatigue episodes. Was put on low dose steroids for suspected adrenal insufficiency a couple of months back. I thought at first they were helping, now I am not so sure. Am struggling really to know whether

Could ovarian cancer and high TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity) be linked?
I was just looking back on my medical records and both last year and in 2022 and my TIBC was high both times but my iron was normal. The doctor said she didn't see any anemia, but it is odd that the TIBC was high since high TIBC means low levels of iron....yet iron was normal. All these things I'm looking

Help sought with iron panel, please

TIBC
47 (45-81) Transferrin saturation 37.6% (20-50%) Ferritin 46.80 (13-150) [24.67% through range] I'm a little surprised how different my ferritin results are between tests.

Medichecks bloods with some very low/high bloods. Appt with GP 4th March to discuss.
My wife's bloods are still way off. It's listed below. She recently had a nasty bug on 29th December and feels shes still a bit chesty. She also developed a rash on the top front of her chest which was treated with hydrocortisone (Daktacort) but still feels there's a little left there. Still tired,

Seeking thoughts on lab results (and my condition in general)
Hello all. I'll try to keep my history with this as short as possible. I'm 56, male, and have had RLS for probably half my life. I kept it at bay with Ambien for a big chunk of that time (dumb, I know) until that became untenable. In the past three or four years I've tried Gabapentin (didn't really

Ferritin of 38
My Ferritin has been dropping since an iron infusion a year ago. It was 98 pre transfusion. 1050 following the iron then every 3 months became gradually lower. It is now 38. Trans sats are 14% , Transferrin 26, Iron 8.4. My doctor says this is normal and filed my report without discussion. I had colonoscopy

another iron infusion? and low ALT level
Hello, dear RLS friends! I would really appreciate your advice regarding my mother's ferritin levels. So she is currently on 0.375 mg (some days up to 0.5 mg) and 900 mg neurontin. I know DAs are not optimal, but at this point it would really be a problem to withdraw, especially that mom did start with

lab work 8 weeks post iron infusion - advice?
I had an infusion of Injectafer 750 mg on April 29 and had labs drawn exactly 8 weeks later per advice or information on this lifeline :) Now I would truly appreciate hearing some fellow RLS sufferers thoughts and advice on iron infusion and medications. I’m currently still symptomatic but much improved

Medichecks vs. NHS Results
Hi all. I'm wondering whether FlipperTD or indeed anyone else with some technical know-how, can make sense of my blood results. I've recently gained access to my GP records and can see that I've had low ferritin for at least 4 years. Levels have ranged from 17ng/L to 27ng/L on a range of (10

Iron & PLMD
I had an iron panel done a while back, is there any explanation or link to PLMD & the transferrin % being so high? My ferritin test from about a month ago was 200ug/l & had previously been about 250ug/l. I did start regular b12 jabs around the time of the 250 test,so that might account for the ferritin
