The first time John attempted to reduce iron via phlebotomies, he had to stop. It was too much on his BM and he wasn't recovering red cells. He then went on Exjade. After a while, the Exjade became a problem so he started up phlebotomies again but at every other month and only 250 ml. Took a long time to reduce the iron.
