Further research into my hematocrit problem revealed that if you have polycythemia vera long enough it will turn into the "spent phase" where your bone marrow has run out of steam (my words) and ceases to do anything and you enter the upside down world where instead of phlebotomies you will need transfusions...at least I found the cause of my current problem...
