OP
The patient in this case study indeed has iron panel levels very similar to myself: low serum iron, below range transferrin saturation, low to mid-normal ferritin and mid-normal iron binding capacity.hemoglobin & ferritin still up but transferrin saturation low Normal Ferritin in a Patient with Iron Deficiency and RLS.
Edit: ... and they treated her with ferrous ulfate, 2X 325mg per day. After six weeks, most notably transferrin saturation went up to 39% (from 9% before the intervention) - that's big. Yet I'm unsure if I should take iron. I think I'll stick with the advice here first, fixing the low folate / high homocysteine and having a daily supply of the b-vitamins. And getting copper / ceruloplasmin up.
