Iron Readings
The figures that are given for sufficient iron amounts never seem to tie up with the sorts of figures that I get from my blood tests. Can anyone tell me if I have sufficient iron for my RLS (currently taking 300mg of Pregabalin). Thank you so very very much. Sally 07-Oct-2022 TOT. IRON BIND CAPACITY

Shaving before vasectomy
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. Just joined today as I am having a vasectomy done by a GP in a couple of weeks. Not worried about the procedure as such - I'm 51 and been meaning to get around to this for a while - but it's more about the prep. Anyone had it done who can give some good advice on shaving

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

Fatty Liver - So worried
I gave up drinking about 3 years ago with some 'blips' along the way where I tried moderation which I absolutely know now does not work. However, the dragging sensation I used to get in my liver area when I used to take a drink has persisted into sobriety. I approached the doctor to look into this in

low ferritin high transferrin saturation
I am aware my ferritin is in the lower range and has been going downwards. However when I had full iron panel in August my transferrin saturation was just out of range in the upper level. I have read that one thing that can factor this is dehydration so I am trying to up my water intake. But does

Dose increases but TSH rising and T4 and T3 falling
Hi everyone. I have been gradually increasing my dose of levothyroxine. After an increase I feel better for a while then worse. Over time, the more my dose has increased the worse my biochemistry seems to be. I wondered if anyone could help me to understand what is going on. I started off with

Hello everyone. My long awaited appointment at the gp surgery finally arrived and I was seen by a somewhat inexperienced health care assistant who suggested I drink a glass of tonic water before bed to help with my RLS! When I tried to explain my research, this forum and the Mayo Clinic algorithm

iron levels
I had my iron and ferritin levels checked. My iron was 126, ferritin was 65 TIBC 34%. Transferririn was not checked. I’m not sure about raising the iron levels too high. How high can one safely go? My Dr. Is suggesting 65 mg of iron every other day and recheck in 3 months. As luck will have it Iwas

hi there I’m new to this having only been diagnosed with PMR a month ago and am on 20 mg pred and omeprozole and GP has just prescribed AA which I am due to pick up today. Inflammatory markers are down from first bloods a month ago but symptoms are only slightly better so GP is keeping me at 20mg daily

It is worth persevering!
I thought fellow RLS sufferers would be interested in the following sequence of events. Following advice from people on this website I wrote the following letter to my doctor: "[i]Dear Dr C,[/i] [i]I have suffered with severe Restless Legs Syndrome for four months now, often not being able to get to

Latest thyroid bloods & iron panel…
I’ve just got my latest bloods back and this confirms I need to reduce my Levothyroxine. It’s a similar result to last time and shows my T4 to be too high. I was on 150mcg T4 only: TSH: 0.005 Free thyroxine: 33.5 (12-22) Free T3: 5.88 (3.1-6.8] Previous bloods from mid July tell the same story…
