Hi, I am currently being phlebotomized, my doctor was taking 500ml of blood every week. I began have serious heart palpatations so I asked him to slow down to 500ml. every other week. This seems to have helped tremendously, but will it slow down my getting better? I also ahve terrible joint stiffness, and muscle cramping. I am 51 years old and I walk like an old woman. I have also had a tremendous weight gain. 130 lbs in 2 years. No matter what I do I can't lose any of the weight. Has any one else had any of these problems? If so do you have any answers for me? How many different symptoms might I expect to encounter, and when my counts come down will I be better?
