[quote=Anonymous]DH does that when his iron is low. I am sure your doctor will check ferritin and CBC among other things. I am in peri. Seemingly unrelated, but I was also seen by a neurologist due to family history of tumors. Neurologist noted my balance seemed off and ordered bloodwork for folate, magnesium, copper and a thyroid test. I did not have a tumor (MRI showed clear) but did have slightly elevated copper levels, and was told to take 100 mg per day of zinc (to lower the copper). Just from an internet search, it seems like the fluctuations in hormones with perimenopause can elevate copper levels. I need to take the zinc with a meal or it makes me sick, and the upside is now I am sleeping well and my mood is improved. I am not sure if my balance is better or not. [/quote]
