Has restless leg too! Going to start supplementing with iron!

[hugs2day]

My son had this symptom it was not RLS just at the time looked that way. His iron was fine.

 

It was clostridia. Flagyl got it all to stop.

Mine does! Ferritin is supposed to be 70,80 or higher(per sleep doctor) This is for a 5 yo. We have been giving 5ml of MyKidz Iron 10 twice a day since the fall. Just got it rechecked, but no results yet. Symptoms are much much better. We are now supplementing my 7yo who has a ferritin of 25 &symptoms.

Strawberry banana with a slight metal aftertaste. Give with Vit C for increased abssorption,so I give vit c gummies after to encourage cooperation.

Use provided dispenser to prevent teeth staining.

FYI: restless legs can be a side effect of SSRIs too. Not sure if any of your kids r taking these.

another reason to avoid SSRI's......

our dd9 has RLS and PANDAS. Iron and melatonin help her but we are still seeing it on weekly basis.
