I have tested this out over the past few years b/c I struggle with anemia and notice when my iron is really low, my legs and arms go crazy at night when I try to sleep.
So, one possibility is that your iron ferritin level is low right now. That could potentially be causing it. UpToDate |
Thank you!! I seem to remember in my recesses reading something about iron/anemia and this stuff and had totally forgotten about it or just blown it off. But, the interesting thing is, I take no supplements and eat basicsally no meat of any kind pretty much 98% of the time. So, I wonder if I might be anemic.
Wii find out this week as I have blood work pending. we'll see.
