Good news re. blood tests
Red platelet count is still quite high 479 and also Serum
iron
level which was 47.5, so not sure whether that would indicate the need to cut the
iron
supplement back Now all I need to know is when I can stop taking the ferrous sulphate, or if there should be a reduction in the amount per day.

Does this sound like Hashimoto's please?
I have had periods of diffuse hair loss, (eventually diagnosed as Telogen effluvium with crashing
iron
levels too). I am now starting to lose the outer edge of my eyebrows, my skin and scalp itches and as I say, my energy levels and mood can feel low some days.

She has been on
iron
for 8 weeks. The first results are for September. And the second for December. Not all we’re done in September. Range in brackets.

Any suggestions on timing of dosage?
As a result of what I've been reading here, I had an appointment with my GP who agreed that I shouldn't be on Pramipexole AND that I should have my
iron
levels tested (which happened this morning).

Recommendations for Iron panel?
Hello, Does anyone use an
Iron
Panel test which they can recommend? We have used Medichecks but got in such a pickle with the ferritin ranges/versus NHS ferritin range and results that I am looking for another company. Or to be honest it may have just been me who couldn't work it out.

Blood test results
The next day I had a call off the doctor telling me that I'm anemic and to go down to the surgery for my
iron
tablets. Fast forward to Monday I went back to the doctors and asked for my thryroid test results. She said my thyroid is normal, and applauded me for getting the levothyroxine.

Iron Panel Interpretation
My results: -

Supplement schedule query - which should be taken apart from others?
I've always had low ferritin and months ago started Simply Heme
iron
supplements, which are supposed to be easier to absorb, and blocked only by calcium. I'm now wondering if anyone can advise on my current supplement schedule, in case any of them are blocking absorption of any others?!

Blood result and raised MCV
I had a recent blood test as I've been supplementing with gentle
iron
, general A-Z vits and B12 since the spring. I particularly wanted to check up on my
iron
/ferritin status. I've never had a positive diagnosis of PA, or even of B12 deficiency as my levels have always been 'in range'.

Can anyone offer some help regarding my Ferritin levels for my RLS please.
and sister had/ have haemochromatosis, so I’m a bit reluctant to take
iron
tablets and some years ago, after taking
iron
tablets, my GP said to stop as my
iron
levels were too high.

Hello everyone, I have recently finally come off pramipexole after 6 months weaning off and I appear to be one of the lucky ones that the
iron
oral therapy has significantly helped my restless legs.

Haematologist’s unsupportive B12 response
She mentioned that although I’m low in ferritin (40) I’m not yet needing an
iron
infusion just yet. My white cell count was seemingly low also and she suggested that I should get a referral to see a haematologist as my bone marrow could be functioning insufficiently for some unknown reason.

Gabapentin and Oral Iron
When taking
iron
supplements on alternate days (
iron
bisglycinate 25mg) and using gabapentin nightly, how far apart should the
iron
and gabapentin doses be on the days that I take the
iron
?
