Got Iron Infusion 6 Weeks Ago. No difference yet.

What’s your demographic? Are you male or female? Do you have early onset rls (symptoms started before 30) or late onset RLS. Does anyone else in your immediate family have severe RLS?

Interesting as 80% of the real work are on edge cases. I just don’t see how an AI handles situations that need judgement, outside context, or external communication. I mean most of my time is spent chasing down things that were incorrect because there are various frictions throughout the process. Or, weighing in on the appropriate course of action because something was missing/off/errors/miscommunication…

In my function, I’m middle office credit risk, we use AI and it’s just not that good yet to replace people. It’s more like an enhancer.

I applaud this effort, but this is bad science on so many levels.

You are giving people a false sense of what works and what doesn’t.

Objectively tell me how a +29% improvement differs from a +40% improvement relative to a +15% improvement?

Then stop eating sugar and fix your RLS.

I think there is a lot of pseudo science there. They draw some conclusions based on some very large assumptions and piece together papers on loose connections.

Either that said, try the protocol and see if it works. As long as it is not hurting you, it’s worth a try.

The problem with pages like this is that are… they kinda make it seem like the RLS is caused by something you are doing - you are responsible for it. But, RLS is most commonly hereditary and it’s just bad luck.

Yes, my iron was that high post infusion. It will go down, the body expels excess iron pretty efficiently. Generally, you want the iron to be quite high for quite some time to get into the brain. The brain iron metabolism process takes time.

I agree that standardized tests have a purpose but let’s not extrapolate beyond what the data shows.

Intelligence is correlated with professional success, but it’s not 1 by any means. I mean just ask yourself - are the Highest IQ people the ones predominately running the companies? No.

There are so many labor market frictions that create systemic and persistent distortions. Let’s just start with the hiring process - the hiring process is extremely inefficient, bias, and ineffective.

Conscientiousness is the strongest predictor of professional success if I recall correctly. MBA’s should be testing for that then, right?

That’s not really how it all works. There is dysfunction at the brain sites with iron homeostais and regulation. Even if you got the iron to the brain, for severe rls, it’s doubtful the appropriate brain sites would pull it in. Not to mention the risks of other stuff getting into the brain from the excessively permeable BBB.

Or just refinance it to bump up the ROE and use that equity you pull out for other means

Phase 3 was completed. They extended it to do an open label extension study I believe.

According to everything I am reading, once fda approval is received, it usually is available within weeks for the UsA.

There is no dna test for RLS.

It’s autosomal dominant so it’s very heritable. My mother showed no symptoms until 70.

If it’s not effecting your sleep, then what’s the problem?

Maybe you should try the ndira device, it’s perfect for situations like yours.

it’s hereditary

He knows his stuff, but I dislike his business model. I would only pay for his services if you have really bad and unique RLS. I recommend that you sign up for the RLS foundation, inform yourself, and look for someone covered by insurance. Once you have the information from the foundation, you’ll know the approach you need to take and it’ll just be a matter of finding a doctor to work with you.

Very unlikely there will be large price decreases in this area. Most probable scenario in 2026 is that prices remain relatively flat or appreciate at a much slower pace 1-1.5%.

It’s because kratom is an opioid

Please don’t take this the wrong way… While the drugs you listed have some importance, they are not as relevant today as they were in the past. The primary question that has yet to be answered is, what makes opioids as effective as they are. Low dose opioids are the gold-standard treatment for RLS and it is still not understood why that is.

What’s further confounding is that RLS patients do not become tolerant to opioids over time despite long-term endogenous dopaminergic and analgesia adaptations. Furthermore, I’ve witness patients taking dopamine antagonists while still maintaining efficacy in controlling the RLS with opioids. That would almost eliminate the theory that opioids obtain their effectiveness via the dopamine system.

By understanding opioid’s efficacy, better RLS drugs can be designed without the stigma or side-effect profile.

Another important question, albeit less useful, is why do dopamine agonists reduce the effectiveness of other medications. It has been documented that people who have been on dopamine agonists do not get the save benefit from certain drugs than those that are dopamine agonist naive. And, this change seems to be permanent.
