Anyone here have thick blood? For some reason my red blood cell count is sky high. I went two weeks ago and got a pint drawn off and it was black. I mean it looked like old ass motor oil! I have to go to a hemotologist now and get it figured out. Chances are I'm gonna have to periodically get some blood taken off, if I don't it ends up getting too thick to pump and then I got a heart attack or stroke on my hands.

Re: funky blood work
no, but i was on a med suprevised for a study on GH over 7 months and had to go in and get montly blood draws and arginine drips, etc,, took about an hour
so, talked with the same nurse all the time, she discussed this about other people, so it's not abbynormal, i forget what the culprit was, it is manageable
good thing you caught it
good luck

Maybe they will put you on a blood thinner or an aspirin a day. Doesn't sound to good so make sure you get to that hematologist asap!Veritas Vos Liberabit

Re: funky blood work
yes sir. Stay on top of any blood isues. It sounds like you know the drill.
Stay healthy.
Some of us just have bad blood. e.g. sticky platelets, etc...thick, sticky blood runs in my family. It doesn't matter what some of us do, or have done, it's just how we're made.
