Title: high hg and hotflashes
Post by: sullidog on May 25, 2010, 06:12:25 PM

My hemoglobin is at 13.9, the last time it was that high was back in august so they've stopped my epo. My question is both times it's been high I've seem to get hot real easy, has anyone else had this issue with high hg? The way I see it if low hg makes you cold, then high hg should make you hot.

Interesting. My hemoglobin is rarely abover 12.1, but I get hot flushes during treatment from time to time - usually fixed by a break from UF for 10 minutes. I hadn't considered if the two were related, but I did have one yesterday just an hour or two after getting my epo.....
