I struggle with super-rich blood, Cal. What Marcus said is exactly how I would approach it. Stay on the therapeutic phlebotomies until your hematocrit comes within at least the upper end of the range if possible. Getting the hematocrit down will probably help.your BP as well; I know it does mine.
Don't know what BP med you're on or how well you tolerate it, but an increase in dosage may also add to the fatigue.
For some people polycythemia/high RBC can be caused by something as simple as sleep apnea. It may not be the testosterone that is causing the issue.
There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
