Hi Sherry, my husband was transfusion dependant so wanted to keep his transfusions to a minimum. He continued to work with levels down to about 6.5 as a police officer. He functioned ok at those levels,but they figure his body had adjusted to the low levels over the years. We just got out of the hospital and at the hospital they transfused whenever he dropped below 8.0. I think it can be tough on your heart with really low levels, and since you have not had transfusions and assuming you do not have iron overload issues, I'm sure your doc will transfuse you if you drop more. Godspeed.
