High RBC

[hawkeyes56]

Hey guys
Somewhat new to this forum, been lurking a while and reading but recently my doc retired so I switched to a new one that wanted em to run bloods before they refilled my script and I was almost due for a test anyway. Turns out my RBC is pretty high so no new script for me, fortunately I have some test stocked up as her suggestion was to just stop cold turkey. My main question is have any of you dealt with this and what methods did you use, after using some google-fu at work today the best methods I could find where, baby aspirin every 1-3 days, depending on which source I was reading. Grapefruit or grapefruit extract everyday. Getting blood drawn and dumped once a month or so. I am also trying to up my hydration. Anyway just looking to see if any of you had run into the same thing and what you did to fix it.

What dose are you running the test at?

250 a week... shoot 125 every 3 days

Donate blood every 8 weeks is what works. I tired the GF and didn't see it lower mine. You can also have doc write a script to donate more frequently if it's higher. The one donation that last about an hour us supposed to drop RBC a few more points then a whole blood donation. But without a script its like 12 plus weeks before you can donate again after that donation. I immediately feel better after a donation when my RBC is high.

Cool, thanks I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I have an appt with a hemotologist next week so hopefully they write the script for the donation.
