Hi Chirley,
Perhaps you should ask for new tests - as you wrote the test results you received are not realistic when you have got so many units of packed red blood cells.

As I have said before I think your consultant makes uncommon ordinations - I have still not read anywhere about 5 units of RBC:s every 5:th week. Most patients get 2 units because the HGB should not be so low that the patients are tired or other have symptoms like headache.

Do you know if the meningitis is caused by virus? Is it supposed to disappear without treatment?
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
