@mikeg0822 and all...I appreciate your hood thoughts, Mike. I'm pleased with the enormous improvements in my body, my general health, my life. I'm thankful as I said....the blood test for your ferrous level is a blood test but not regularly included in testing. You must ask to have it added. Your doc will know and be impressed you do or irritated as heck! Get it done. It tests the level of ferrous in your bone marrow as I understand it, where it's made and sent out to be absorbed and used.
Should be 90-????hundreds. Don't remember. But like 800 or so. .mine was 15. So. No doubt I needed help. This was discovered by my Mayo sleep provider as low iron is a cause of restless leg syndrome which I have severely. For years. Just never named or diagnosed until I had an overnight sleep study. Now. I use a bi-pap Nightly. With a warming tube and water chamber. I can't sleep or survive w/o this Machine. Now, my legs are stiller, less aches or pain. A lot of improvement in balance. Strength. Energy

Just get the info and know with what you're dealing. Then get it fixed in some way. I don't care if I have iron infusions every month! It makes me able live....blessings.
