I hope that my other blood sickness has no medicine because of the cost of it and the physical hardship it will bring
Many years ago just as I was starting to be a dialysis patient and had been made aware that we do not anymore produce the Erythropoietin hormone, the hormone produced by the Kidneys that tells the bone marrow to produce red blood cells, it bothered me a lot because of course if I will not be transfused with blood, then I will essentially die because red blood cells will not get replaced as the Kidneys that produces the said hormone is quite just like a useless meat in my body.
I was still mobile during those years and quite useful inside our house because at least I can cook and clean around although I cannot possibly work, I am not fit enough to do a regular paying job or work since I am not getting enough dialysis in my early years as a patient so I do not feel so well simply because I am anemic and suffering from the symptoms of anemia like weakness, inability to eat, and insomnia.
When I do get some blood transfusions, well I feel improvements like my appetite would come back, my sleep quality improves as well, and I will feel energized until two weeks later, the symptoms of anemia will come back again. I always make it a point not to get blood transfusions because I know that blood-borne illnesses can be contracted from such a thing. So because I was still able to move around, I would try to request medical assistance from politicians.
It is a pain to request help from politicians, I have to complete the documents and there was a time that the cost of EPO injections which I was requesting to get was equal to the money that I paid for commuting to and from the hospital in the capital Manila which I was directed to get the said medicine from. The thing is that I have to queue myself in many processes inside the government hospital which is why after one queue, the time had been eaten-up so I have to go home again commuting and it of course costed me money.
Realizing that, I didn't went to that congressman's office again because the system is not for me. However, if I will be requesting assistance to the government sweepstakes office charity service, the process is fair and fast and it is where I got my EPO injections from which actually saved my life. But I am just using the injections sparingly and not in the recommended dose because I will only get 8 pieces of injections which is often times fit only to be used for two weeks but I will use it for 3 months so that after the third month, I will be able to request free EPO injections from our country's government charity service.
All that while I was contemplating, if only dialysis patients doesn't get anemic, then their lives will not get harder than they are enduring. It is because all are always feeling poisoned due to lack of the function of the cleaning organs, they also get waterlogged and get all the complications and then the added anemia which hosts lots of complications of its own magnifies the hardships of a person under dialysis.
But my anemia had improved on its own by what I can just regard as miracle from God and a sweet gift to me because I did not worry about blood transfusions, requesting blood, or buying blood or buying EPO because my body is producing blood on its own.
However these past few months, my hemoglobin went up close to dangerous or dangerous levels, it gives me the risk of stroke or heart attack if it will not get treated. So I have no choice but to see a specialist and the Hematologist told me the possibilities of treatment which of course will cost me money and another hardship to taking a drug. But taking a hard drug which can make me feel like I am getting a chemotherapy will only happen if I am positive to one of the many tests that I had undergone starting last Saturday. SO I hope that I am not get "positive" to that blood sickness otherwise I am in deep trouble.
The if I will be tested positive for the other blood sickness which causes high hemoglobin levels, I will be bled, maybe regularly or I don't know how it will be performed but again, it will cost me money.
That is why right now I am going through mental stress but I had done something to possibly lower my hemoglobin and that is stopping my Moringa supplementation in my diet and the Ketoanalogues which I think had been boosting my body's red blood cell or hemoglobin production. So I am asking for prayers for this new health condition of mine because a long time again I had been suffering from not much blood running into my veins but now there are too much of them which can also kill me. But I trust God for what he can do in my life and maybe things will not be as bad as I am thinking, it is just if I will die, I do not want to suffer.

So you gave up on moringa, how fast do you believe the results can be noticed? I wonder if it also affects the results of the test and measures that could be taken.
I wonder if a family member can be a blood donor (instead of the dirty blood in the hospital), and what those meds are compared with a chemo since chemo will kill every cell in your body, bowels, stomach, literally every one. I doubt your kidneys or the dialysis can deal with that.
I hope you will receive the results soon and do believe it's important to repeat those tests because of moringa, although stress will change it as well.
My peripheral blood smear test showed that I have irregular red blood cell formations and I guess that it is due to my lack of vitamin B12 and Folate. If it were the case I will hopefully et treated with it. Morinaga has no B12 and it seems that I am still anemic despite that I have many red blood cells.
I can never tolerate Chemo, I will just die slowly. Chemo it seems is bad because people get treated with it will get another form of cancer.
