For the past several years my physicals have demonstratd elevatd hemoglobin, hematocrit and RBC numbers. Inectiois Diseases are not found. Yet I was shocked o find my CRP was 15. Homecysteine 5.4. There was mention that I am not absorbing iron properly, Cytopenia Vera was ruled out after two sessions of "bleeding" me. I am fatigued as heck, yet am afraid of trying an iron supplement as mine shows normal. Plus I have a fear of iron and it's relation to heart disease. I am a 64 year old white male. I have suffered from depression yet am able to tel the difference between the fatigue of depression and this mystery fatigue. In this latter I am ( although athletic) having difficulty in catching my breath. Any ideas?
