Welcome back, @rmegg, If I'm reading your message correctly, Idiopathic Erythrocytosis (Polycythemia) for which standard treatment is frequent blood withdrawals (phlebotomy). Now the effective treatment is causing low levels of ferritin in your blood, which can lead to iron-deficiency anemia. Have I got that right?
