I am no expert but can only give this comment. Paul is on EPO to help elevate his red blood cells. This has worked well raising them from 90 to at one stage 153. However, his doc has adjust the frequency of the dosage because they don't like them to sit above 120 (despite the fact that that is lower than the 'normal' range) because of the increased risk of clotting. Its hard to get your head around when platelets can be at 24
