Welcome to

rlsgal70, who has RLS & iron deficiency. She is unable to take iron supplements because it causes constipation. Life is hell

You sound like a good candidate for an iron IV treatment. These are a relatively new development in the treatment of RLS. If your doctor is not familiar with these, post a note and we can point you to documents that you can share with him/her.
