does not work for me? Is it correct?

That should work now MrsD!

I had copied the link direct from my post at Latitudes forgetting that that longer links get compacted there

I thought it was ME since I can't read updates at you know where either....
one gets rather paranoid on the internet sometimes.

And I sure know about those "abbreviated" links!

You know, low iron is also found in ADHD... it is a rather significant
finding, and part of the ADHD mimicry diagnoses! Interesting that it is found
in TS as well, since some places link them on a continuum.(is that spelled right?)..sorry.

This older one at the top of the list goes along with that newer one you posted, Chemar. I'm really interested in this ferritin issue. I also have RLS so have been trying to follow the connections. Somewhere or other on my computer I have some concise information that talks about differences between stored ferritin levels, iron deficiency, anaemia and the like. I'll try to find it. It's important that people just don't go on a iron overload regime thinking it'll help. It's more complex than that and for some people, taking Iron can be harmful.

"Restless legs in Tourette syndrome.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and Tourette's syndrome (TS) share some common features, including the phenomenology of sensations relieved by movements, but few studies have examined the links between RLS and TS. We examined RLS and other TS comorbidities in 144 probands with TS or chronic tics and their parents. RLS was present in 10% of probands and 23% of parents with no gender differences. RLS in probands was linked significantly to maternal RLS but not paternal RLS, suggesting that a maternal RLS factor may contribute to the variable expression of TS.

very valid warning Lara!

even when people are iron deficient (as my son is ) one has to be sooo careful with supplementing it.
We have him on a gentle iron for the anaemia, and it is real low dose and chelated so as to minimise the digestive distress that iron supps can cause.
well, he does ok on it tho he says he doesnt like it...........however, the other day he needed more, and they didnt have the Solgar brand that he uses, so I bought a different brand (same iron dose, also called Gentle Iron) and he had an awful reaction to it! The doc says it was probably a differently produced form of iron. we took him off it immediately, and now have the original brand back in...........
But it sure made me aware again of just how sensitive the body is to iron!!

Yes, brands are not all the same even if the ingredient seems the same on the package. I found that with SAMe a long time back and have also read about quality differences especially with Melatonin. Years back I was taking a B-complex that had Niacin in it. I couldn't figure out what was going wrong with me everytime I took it. Ended up talking to my gastroenterologist who told me to change the type of Niacin I was taking because my liver wasn't dealing with it well. Ended up changing to niacinamide instead of the nicotinic acid. Gosh, I think I got that the right way around. Long time ago.
