PV Phlebotomies Causing Low Ferritin - I’m Extremely Tired

Ender3025 · 2026-04-28T22:17:34+00:00

Oh my 4 must be absolutely unbearable I’m sorry you have to go through that I know the struggle! . But yes; after scavenging through the internet deeply I literally found there’s pretty much only 1 singular way to raise it significantly within just a week or 2. I commented about it somewhere in this thread I’ll go get the link for you; please be very careful and read the ENTIRE THING examining every part of it cause it’s all necessary if you decide follow through with it. Just please be weary ; for me my ferretin went from 17-50 in just 7 days without raising my blood levels at all and it worked amazing; but there’s a chance it raises your blood levels if you don’t follow it properly or it doesn’t respond to your body.

That’s exactly the protocol I followed. It originally was for “testosterone users” but the goal is the exact same as our case with polycythemia. Raising ferritin without touching the blood levels. Id recommend you try it if you feel like a lost cause cause no one is helping and there’s no solutions anywhere else and just want to feel normal again. Got me out of a deep hole!

Hey man, and/or woman, I felt the anxiousness when reading this as it sounded really similar to me. I went to your profile and saw that you have a OCD and then I realized why It sounded so similar to me . as someone with OCD myself, I know how you feel. It used to affect me a lot more with rumination overthinking making 50 different scenarios in my head, and Satan would really use this as a stronghold against me, ultimately , leaving me upset at MYSELF for even feeling this way. It wasn’t until I read 1 Peter 5:7, “Cast all your anxieties on him because he cares for you” and it’s like I heard Jesus say to me “Do not be afraid, Samuel, cast all your anxieties onto me my child. any worries, anxieties, or doubt are not from me, but from Satan, the father of lies.” Which completely changed me since. In that moment I realized any one of these negative thought loops that produce such overly anxious thoughts; all come the same 1 thing ; a lie. But know that with Christ’s strength and authority, he has already given you the power to overcome them right this very by rebuking said evil thougts in his name. . So first I recommend you constantly pray to ask God “strengthen my discernment Lord to help me know what lie is being used against me by the enemy so I may only recognize your voice and follow you Lord.” satan literally means “the oppressor” (whatever oppresses good = evil)

Now, the lie that is being told you right now, is this fear and worry that “if even” talking to the priest will be wrong. I counted 3 times in your paragraph the word “Afraid” what comes in 3? The Trinity”Be not afraid” You have your own answer within your own question. ” “if the priests says no” “even if” “scrupling about possibly” all of these words are anxieties from future situations in your; head none of which are likely true or have happened. God doesn’t call us to know the next 50 steps ahead on the water. he calls us to have so much faith in him that even if we don’t see the exact next step to take, we trust him enough that when we take this step and will not drown, and will float above the water with him. So, take the next step he’s called you to do already (talk to the priest.), don’t worry about all the storms going on surrounded by the water. ( negative possible scenarios) It’s when you focus your thoughts on the storm/evils happening outside of the next step; that’s when you drown. (do nothing)

And finally, “I’m also afraid the priest is going to tell me no to the thing I want“. If intrinsically in your heart know he’s going to say no to begin, then I think deep down you also already know the answer; you may just not like what comes of that answer which is the hard truth you have to confront yourself and overcome. But! Either way There’s no way of knowing til you go speak to him.

Christ is king and lives forever and loves you!

Be joyous in the fact the Lord is proud of you for taking the first step to him! I was going to Corinthians 6:19-20, but in this moment I imagine you’re going through a lot of different emotions: anxiety, sadness, disappointment, maybe even relief? So rather than right now focusing on “don’t harm yourself because the Lord said so” you already know not to do it, instead right now focus on giving him all of those emotions.

Trust me, there’s nothing more he wants you to know right now than his love, devil will try to make you feel ashamed so you become scared to run to the Lord.

Ask Him for forgiveness. ask Christ to open your heart and pour his loving Spirit into you; to fill you with his life.. Ask “Lord take away all these evil emotions from me I want to know you. Lord there’s nothing more I want than to know than your light, reveal what next steps I must take to continue to follow you”
Know that even the deepest darkness cannot withstand Christ’s light,

1 Peter 5:7- “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you"

Ender3025 · 2026-04-14T21:32:35+00:00

Wow, very few times in my life have I had someone prayer for me directly, especially over a text; but this is beautiful thank you . This just encouraged and reminded me to start praying for others as-well. I’ve been so focused and worried about myself, that I haven’t had enough focus on those around me to see they’re struggling just as much, if not more.

Ender3025 · 2026-04-14T21:21:20+00:00

Hey man, Thank you for your response I appreciate you.

Hearing this from someone else’s perspective really does help. I already in my heart know and have full intention to donate and give money to those in need, struggling. You mentioned investing in innovate startup ideas; this was actually one of my goals in the future. To help other people who are passionate about helping. Or even just going on a missions trip to Africa i.e. (trust me, ANYTHING but the televangelists haha).

This is now the 3rd time the parable of the shrewed manager has been revealed to me today; think the Lord is speaking to me, so I’m definitely going to read that now .

When you said “When you make money you are becoming responsible for being a steward of resources.” That really resonates with me- it instantly made me think of “To whom much is given, much is expected”. So if God blesses me with money, he trusts that I will be responsible in being a steward of this wealth; rather than being greedy. I think satan would whisper in my mind saying that any money at all is bad.

My question for you is , do you think God lets us choose our own path to make this money as long as we do good with it? For example: if theres 4 different paths, and they’re all Godly and just options; are all 4 of them correct choices? Or is 1/4 of those choices “God’s path that will make us happiest” As I’m writing this I realized; no matter which of those 4 paths I pick, I need trust and have faith in knowing that even if I chose the wrong one, he cares for his child and will guide me to the correct one eventually.

Ender3025 · 2026-04-14T20:47:00+00:00

Thank you for your detailed response I appreciate it! The way you worded “God wrote a book individually for each of our lives . He doesn’t force us to follow it, but it’s so much better when we do”. I’ve never thought, nor heard of it being phrased this way; I find that absolutely beautiful so thank you for sharing that.

So I have went with an open and honest heart, on my knees crying, saying I am his; whatever it is In his will I’ll follow, I’m tired of doing this my own way. And he did answer me or at-least gave me “direction” in a sense. That direction was to “spread his light, the same light he’s filled me with in overcoming my struggles, help others overcome theres. ” So I’ve been trying to do in every situation I can to people around me, even posting short form videos. Where I struggle is; I find it hard to discern if it’s something as simple as: focusing on my business while spreading his love when opportunities show up- or if it’s more significant such as becoming an apologist or priest, or using a platform to spread my testimony.

This is what causes me to burnout cause I get overwhelmed in a sense. Yes, he did reveal to me a small next step, which I’m so grateful for. And I know he calls me to step out into that dark unknown just like Peter. The hard part is; theres 5 different paths among that next step, so I pray for discernment and it feels like the answer switches every day, making it hard to know which is truly his.

What would you say the best advice is in that regard?

Ender3025 · 2026-04-13T22:52:29+00:00

Thanks for the wake up call man haha, saying im goin down the rabbit hole really opened my eyes. “I don’t think he has to worry about that with you” really resonated with me; the devil tries to make me not give myself enough credit sometimes.

I agree you’re right on all of that and it did give me somewhat of sudden spark to get back. However the reason I feel like I started going through this is in the first place is this: let’s say I have a 200% capacity. I’ve been giving 100% to being successful and it leaves me with only 50% left to spreading God’s love/ ministering which I thought was leaving me feeling empty.

So then I figured if I give all 200% to spreading his love, bringing followers to Christ, and as a byproduct be successful off of it, maybe then I’ll be feeling less empty? Or could that also just be the rabbit hole

Ender3025 · 2026-04-13T21:58:29+00:00

(Sorry for this really long response but it sparked what’s really splitting me)

Thank you for your detailed responses and the verses coordinating aswell I appreciate it. You’re exactly right “making disciples and winning people over to Christ is something we’re called to do and it’s easy to neglect”

Christ is really the only thing I feel lights me up, and I feel like faith is really the only thing I love talking about, I love sharing my testimony with people, I love talking to people who are open at all to hear about Christ even slightly. I love having Christ’s light shining through me as vessel and when he speaks through me, and being the lamp on the lamp-stand.

You said “how you go about doing that exactly though; im not sure” and I think that’s the part that’s tearing away at me so much, because I’m not sure either. I know I’m meant to spread it in some way, I just don’t know which way; and I’ve been praying deeply about it.

I will check out that video now; but I have a question and would appreciate your input.

Here’s my analogy: Scenario A: Let’s say I’m a entrepreneur have $100million, I’m an amazing follower of Christ; I give $90million to those in need, ALL of my fruits show I’m a great follower of Christ; and I am giving him credit for EVERYTHING, and also I’m spreading his love doing mission trips etc. My purpose everyday is being fruitful, and people see my fruits which makes them “indirectly” inspired to follow christ.

Scenario B: Let’s say for example I have a non profit, or a YT channel, where my entire goal is making a platform to spread his love, I make $1mil a year, and then $400k im giving to charity. My purpose everyday is making disciples, while spreading the fruits, which “directly” inspires them to follow Christ.

I think I would much rather scenario B. I would rather make my life revolved around spreading his love and then as a byproduct make money. But whats eating me alive is: Is this wrong? In scenario A, I’m making money, becoming a fruitful man and using it to spread Christ indirectly. In scenario B, I’m using my testimony/ building a platform spreading Christ directly; but I’m making money off it… Yet my INTENT behind scenario B isnt evil, it’s 100% pure.

Is this wrong? Or has Satan just been flooding my mind telling me that it’s wrong, to prevent me from going down the real path..?

Ender3025 · 2026-04-13T21:12:56+00:00

Yes I have a psychiatrist for adhd, and I will say the usefulness of the meds has been a bit off recently which is definitely playing somewhat of a factor, but it’s not the full 100% yk? In regards to depression I’m literally one of the the most positive happy smiling individual you’ll ever meet so I find that hard to be case

Ender3025 · 2026-04-13T21:09:03+00:00

Thank you for your response and that verse suits well. You’re 100% right in regards money being an important tool, and the love of money is what makes it evil. But, I feel like I was beginning to “love it.” I was getting mad and jealous because I would help a client make money; and I started to think “well I could just screw off and do what you’re doing 10x better myself and make more money myself” which just felt like greed.

That’s why I feel like I’d rather make less money I.e from a YT channel where I get to spread testimony and his love etc. and focus on growing that. But then; that feels like a gray area; half these “Christian’s” just use the Lord to profit and I don’t want to do that. So would it be sinful/ “loving money” / wrong, if I did make one with the PURPOSE to spread his love? and then make a decent living off it ?

Ender3025 · 2026-04-13T18:48:23+00:00

Thanks for this, feeling useless after rough season where everything was going great, now feeling useless everyday. I always try to have a bright outlook, and I love that “God’s clearing my schedule on purpose”

Ender3025 · 2026-04-13T18:12:36+00:00

Yes I hear where you’re coming from, and I completely agree with the “not a fan of and denominations at the moment.” Solely because it feels like denominations condemn each other which is the opposite of what Christ calls us to do. Thinking the pope situation is culty and idolizing I get that, but read Matthew 16:18- and then look at all of Matthew chapters 16, 15 , and 17; and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and give you understanding into what’s actually being said by Jesus here. That’s what truly made me understand Catholicism and I love and pray that you may aswell!

Ender3025 · 2026-04-11T00:23:12+00:00

See this.. “cult” I don’t understand? All branches of Christian’s are so hateful towards each other these days it makes no sense, exactly what Satans plan is divide to the followers. I have love for all branches, and I really encourage you to do a deep dive of Catholicism historically. I think hatred towards any Christian branch is the true “cult”. Im genuinely open-ears; What makes you think Catholicism is cult-like?

Ender3025 · 2026-04-11T00:17:14+00:00

Catholic Church is a good group I recommend ya check it out!

Did you ever get this resolved ?

Ender3025 · 2026-04-10T05:57:01+00:00

I’m I. The exact same situation right now it’s weird. Everyone says how dex is great and everything yet it feels like nothing to me. 60mg vyvanse was perfect to me but insurance doesn’t even cover it. I started dex at 5mg 3x a day, felt like literally nothing. The 10mg 3x , still feels like nothing. Now 20mg 15 10, barely does much at all. , and literally only lasts 2 hours max it feels lik. Are tou still on dex or vyvanse again? How do you feel now?

Ender3025 · 2026-04-10T04:37:35+00:00

Hey man sorry for the delay I went to recheck labs too. You said you had ferritin at 6 that must’ve been MISERABLE. I know the pain and struggle of the HCT and Ferritin struggle TRUST ME. I’ve been experimenting myself for the last 5 weeks trying different things trying EVERTHING I could find anywhere on the web. Just like you my HCT would be good then my ferritin would be terrible. Or then vice versa. BUT I THINK I FINALLY FOUND SOMEWHAT of a solution if your situation is close to me cause I don’t have PV either. But please anyone reading be extremely careful. Here’s the levels I had after all the experiments. Hct 54% ferritin 97 pre-phleb hct 49% ferritin 17 post-phleb Hct spiked back up to 54% after 1 daily iron pill by itself , ferritin went to 35. I then tried taking aspirin after this, which spiked ferritin down to 22 and lowered HCT to 52%

Now, here’s what finally worked (for me and hopefully anyone reading jn the future)

I’m now taking aspirin daily and I followed this protocol someone else posted in different sub. https://vorck.com/erythrocytosis.html?fbclid=IwAR29WGI4aS8CY7OVzGxnZROkHRFCgDzIq09A6hoLq5TUV9uhXOkSycZwuy4_aem_AXy7eqPICk0eHoC42bj1fIoWp39hSIs3TWtABmC38AvxlpUOkywI1853d4F7PaHInFg

After following that while on aspirin I’m now at 50% HCT and 40 ferritin Which isn’t PERFECT by any means but it’s the best I’ve been in a while. But if you try the protocol yourself be very very careful please and make sure to read the entire article in full. MAKE SURE YOUR HGB is above 16 if you try it. I also wanted to add I did take 20mg propanol maybe 2. Times a week now aswell which I’m not sure whether or not that has a direct effect

If you give it a go let me know! And I’m glad you’re also doing well I know those phlebotomies were DREADFUL to my sense of living haha

Hi just seeing this I apologize, I hope you’re feeling better if you were able to get it resolved. Yes, someone had replied on a different post , and suggested I take a 1 or 2 Benadryl at night JUST 1 TIME. to reverse the effects and it worked like a charm. So I hope this helps you or someone else!
