[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 84370, member: 2624"] Let's carefully review what has been established. Your hematocrit and hemoglobin, along with your red blood cell counts are elevated and you have been prescribed a phlebotomy - the order is to draw 500 cc worth. You are concerned that due to your height and weight that 500 cc is too much for your system to handle and want to know what alternative approaches may work. The elevated lab results that you have need to be addressed. The consequences of not addressing them are potentially serious. It is certainly in your best interest to lower those counts. Your system can more than handle that amount of blood being drawn, it is the standard blood draw used in countless donations day in and day out. My neighbour, a young Asian woman under 5 feet and weighing less than 100 pounds, has given blood like clockwork for a number of years and recently was recognized as one of Toronto's most loyal supporters of Canadian Blood Services. Your body will respond to the donation without a hitch. Absent a more specific diagnosis, that could lead to correcting the underlying disorder, there's no other way to reliably lower your blood counts. I know you aren't on TRT, but many of us here who are donate regularly because of the same issues you are dealing with, the same high numbers. If there was another way, if it could e achieved through a strict diet, for example, many would choose to follow that route. It can't be done. In the post above from Saul, you received very good advice and guidance. A frank discussion about the anxiety you are dealing with, and exposure to the process through YouTube, might go a long way to helping you see this in a different perspective. I wish we could offer you an alternative, but we can't. [/QUOTE]
