Tingling feet, crawling skin

Had tingling in my feet the past couple of days, crawling under the skin of my feet like there's ants there ! Restless legs, ache in a different place every day. Just generally feel off. I think it's safe to say I'm fully in peri. Started taking B6 today, at Jay's suggestion, so will report back on the results in a week or so. Also taking zinc in an effort to halt recurring thrush, which so far seems to be working. Jay said B12 is also good so might try that as well. Supplements are expensive though so don't want to buy too many. Hope all you ladies are coping well with your symptoms xx

    Hi Lara,  My friend's doctor seems to have trouble connecting the low iron with her restless legs.  She recently had to have an operation and her iron levels were so low she had two transfusions.  Her restless legs disappeared. They keep taking her off the iron and then she develops the restless legs again after a few weeks. You can feel really tired when your iron levels are low.  I hope you can sort things out.   Most importantly that you find out why your iron levels are low.  Make sure you eat plently of fibre with the iron to counteract the constipation it causes with some people.  Don't worry about the delay replying.  We all experience things like that. Life can get in the way sometimes.  Hope things improve for you anyway. xx
