You wouldn't believe how long since I have seen a doctor.
I have the same problems as you. Did you see one yet? I missed this thread the first time. Yeah I’ve lost thousands of hours of sleep to restless legs, tingling, burning feet. It’s worst at night which is normal. Seeing my Dr again for more tests in 3 weeks. My Dr did mention it could be a iron deficiency. So I’ve been taking iron pills the last month until I see her. Could be prediabetes also. Read to drink tonic water with quinine. Started that the last week.
Gabapentin has never worked!

Time tested, age old remedies for all that ale ya.

Do some research, and quit trusting all these doctors with your health and start turning to youtube, or better yet rumble or bitchute.

What could go wrong?

I Google online all about it. That’s how I found out about low iron and the quinine.

Yeah, I was messing around with that post above but truthfully there are things the doctors miss. Some research, hearing from others in the same boat, other doctors, etc is a good idea.

You must do some vetting, as well, of the sources and doctors.

Some doctors are old school, some new school, and if your in a situtation where the paradigm has shifted over the years, you might have an old school doctor with out the new school info or practice.

You need to try chicken liver, it's also rich in iron.

12 symptoms of low iron to watch out for​

Because iron’s role is to circulate oxygen, when less flows, the first symptoms you may experience include:

  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Restless legs
It’s taken only a month like I said I’m sleeping better not so jumpy at night. Since I’ve been upping the iron tablets. My Dr will check my level on the 24th
