Is Restless Leg Syndrome Due To Low Haemoglobin Levels?

Hi I am a 45 year old woman with low hemoglobin 88, I have very light short periods but I do have hypothyroid that is sitting at 1.7 on 150 mcgs of replacement a day so that is good . I have been taking 500 mls of magnesium a day to help me sleep, I have restless legs so it helps a lot could this be causing the low hemoglobin?

no, not very likely at all for the magnesium, or low thyroid. Some women have larger menstrual flow with thyroid problems and that can do it, but there isn't a direct connection between any of these common conditions.
