The pint of blood is suppose to lower my red blood count level. The doctor told me I should be fine, once it get's under 50 he will not worry as much. Doctor told me I'm not the only one he had to deal with when it came to High RBC count and TEST. Once I get my level down he dont want me touching TEST for 3-6 months. Once I go back on I will do it every other week or I might not do it anymore.
