[QUOTE="Kapan, post: 260565, member: 45756"] As I read your responses - I am amazed. It is finally nice to hear others struggle with high hematocrit. I have having medical phlebotomy's done at the hospital now for over 7 years. I have developed extensive scar tissue in my arms and now the nurses struggle to remove it. Last time - they did it manually since she couldn't hit the vein correctly. I originally started donating blood to see if that helped - the issue for me was that there are times when I need to go in every two weeks and donation doesn't allow you to, since the blood takes something like 52-58 days to recycle and replenish. On average, I get my CBC done every two weeks. My phlebotomy's at the hospital are done two weeks to the longest I have gone was one time at 8 months. When my hematocrit is high, the effects are huge. It goes into my brain often like I have dementia or had a stroke, I cant remember words or recall things, I have severe and daily chest pressure, my legs burn as I walk up little hills, my fingers can't type. I was diagnosed with secondary polycythemia however currently - I only struggle with my hematocrit and extremely low white blood cells. The other MAJOR issue is that I am Iron Deficient Anemic... I am not supposed to take Iron but I am.. the reason is because I have hemochromatosis - which I don't have an issue with.. I am tired of phlebotomy's which costs about $100.00 a draw.. My Hematologist/Oncologist is doing nothing, my primary is over his head. So, I have started to drink LOTS of water (well for me) and started taking Naringin nightly in pill form (500mg) and I love grapefruit juice so I drink that too. Last week I went in and my hematocrit was high - my high level is anything over 42. Once I get over 42 then it starts to effect my brain.. My ferritin (Iron storage is low, 7). I chose NOT to get a phlebotomy and have decided to try the water/naringin for two weeks to see if it drops. I am hopeful. Yesterday I went for a hike with a 1500 elevation gain in a short few miles.. I powered through it. I could breath. My legs didn't burn. So, again I am hopeful. [/QUOTE]
