Lately I have been feeling worse, lethargic and low energy. Thought it was sleep apnea but made no difference after using a CPAP for a month.

Yesterday I had a scare, was really dizzy and felt like I was intoxicated.

Long story short, I have been trying to get my hematocrit and hemoglobin under control (was slightly elevated pre TRT) by donating blood as often as possible.

So I went to doc yesterday and he told me to go to the ER.

At the ER i specially told the docs that it might be my blood levels. After a bunch of tests, IV, Cat scan they said, your BW came back fine and go home. I still felt a little dizzy but a little better than arriving.

The doc called me today and told me he got the results from the ER, my hematocrit was > 53 and hemoglobin over 18. It was amazing to me that after I specially told the ER docs my RBC might be elevated and I have been seeing a hematologist about it, they did nothing or said nothing.

Anyways his recommendation, stop all test injections and get BW in order. I agreed.

Ironically today I was scheduled to donate blood. Going to call hematologist on tuesday when he is back in office to get a script for therapeutic phlebotomy then get my BW in order.

Once my BW is acceptable, Ill consider my TRT options again...

The journey continues.
