Caution withacute blood loss
I was interested to read your comments. David has had a sudden drop in Hb every month recently. Some could be explained by infection but most are a mystery to the docs. He has been tested for bleeding and scanned with no answer. He dropped from 9.5 to 8 in three days last week and he kept saying he felt "strange". Yesterday he used the same words and sure enough he was dropping suddenly. It makes it very hard to organise transfusions but I suppose we should be grateful that they are available. The haematologist thought there may be low grade haemolysis but it is a worry, ot should I say, another worry.
Best wishes to everyone
Helen
