advice re ferritin levels in children-
"I heard from Dr. B and here is his response on my question (Cut and pasted from his e-mail response):
A ferritin level of 35 is the goal for children as determined by Dr. Dan Picchietti (who is one of the experts in pediatric RLS). However, as you child is very close to that goal, it is much less likely that raising the level will improve the RLS. When the initial ferritin level is much lower, the chances are better that treating it will result in improvement."
