Ok so I have been having pretty bad symptoms for a while now.
Waking at night in a sweat, heart beating rapidly, muscles twitching and in spasm. Pain in those muscles. Weak legs, shaking esp in arms and legs at times muscles twitches during the day. Shortness of breath and some light chest pain that comes and goes with other symptoms. Restless legs.
Also have periodic symptoms of general anxiety too when these things get bad.
We did find brain inflammation on an MRI and I will see a neuro later this month and the Dr. wasn't too concerned about it but....
I have also found up and down iron levels and the above symptoms seem to get worse or improve according.
My symptoms had gotten worse again so I asked for more iron testing and yes I am low again.
ok so to the taking things problem.
I was taking a chewable iron and a flistones vitamin with iron to get my iron back up last time.
Now they have changed the form of iron in the chewable AND the only flistones I can find here now are the flinstones completes and they have things in them I have never taken and didn't really want to so I am having super anxiety leading up to taking one. I NEED the iron and vitamins but I can't do it. The new ones have zinc and copper in them and I of course read some side effect possibilities of taking copper. I hate this so much!
I am taking the new form of chewable iron and I don't like it as much and it is giving me a few issues but for some reason I am really scared to take the stupid chewable flinstone :(
I need to get my iron up and I am so frustrated with myself. I feel horrible but if I do take it and I am afraid my body will make up symptoms even if its fine.
