My crit was54.7 --38.5 to 54. When I gave blood the nurse told me my iron was really high. Symptoms were tiredness, just not feeling good. Since I gave blood my energy levels rose. My cholesterol was 99. Its one year Ihave been on TRT.

Hate to brake it to you IMO you need two more draws.Normal in a healthy male is somewhere 44.to46%...3% a draw...

I know I need more draws from what the veterans say on here. Im trying to find another bloodbank in my area. If I have to wait two months will I be back at square one?

The 1-2 points is your hemoglobin. Most males run in the 14-15 range. You multiply that number x3 and thats your hematocrit. Not perfect but close. This is were i went wrong on this .I have been on TRT for over 6 years.My blood got so thick in the 60% and over range.The way i have been told to keep my numbers in the 45% range then donate at the 48-50% mark. As you get older its best to keep your blood to the thin side..Thats what all the DRs have told me..

Correct. And the amount that your numbers decrease will depend on your total blood volume, which is largely dictated by your weight.

Right now IMO you need at least two more draws.Get your numbers back to were you started..For me at my age 59 i will micro manage my protocol. I will buy a hemoglobin machine they are cheap under 2 hundred.. That way i can keep myself in check no excuses. This i believe is the driving force behind strokes and heart attacks.. My symptoms of high RBC are extreme joint and muscle pain general fatigue and high B/P, always tired.

Do you get anywhere giving every two months. Or you are back at square one. From what Im getting its the high RBC and iron that's making me feel like sh#t. Would I have to give more often. Thanks

No i feel i just go back and forth.As we speak i trying to get that changed. I feel you need to be down to 45% then go as high as 50% Seem that everyone goes to the 50%-55% side..That my be ok at 40 but at 60 do not think its so good Imo..

I have giving almost every thirty days since my crit got up to 56......it is ever so slowly going down but it is better than having to come off trt. I think every two months might not be enough,but everyone is different.
