One cause of restless leg syndrome is anemia. The patient should have her physician check her ferritin levels in addition to her hemoglobin. In the past 6 months I have had 2 patients with restless legs interfering with sleep. Their ferritin levels(measure of iron stores) were 2 and 4 (normal is 29-322) Within a week of supplementation with iron, their symptoms were subsiding. It is worth a try. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
