Interesting. Iron Supplements extinguish my (nightly) restless legs syndrome (for a few hours). There is some tentative evidence and research being done, according to which certain disturbances in iron-metabolism inside the mitochondria might be implicated as cause...

The strange thing is: I have great iron blood values without supplementation (Hemoglobin & Ferritin are high-normal and borderline high. Transferrin is low-normal)

Dopamine agonists help, but augmentation renders them useless after some time. Pregabalin and Gabapentin seem to help and don't have augmentation issues, but those GABA-related drugs may addict you pretty quickly.

Some guy on Hairlosstalk mentioned that Methylene Blue might restore mitochondrial function?

My aunt has it, and I am looking for some ways to treat it. What do you guys recommend? Do you think some supplements are good for it? I like the stuff from eDrugStore.com a lot, and I think that you might find something for you there too, good luck!
