HAS there EVER been a study of blood donation in lupus .. ?
Anemia never killed anyone ..
You get a bit tired but it don't kill ya ..
They have noted one should not be transfused until ones hemoglobin
gets below .. 6 .. so logically one can BE "around 6" .. according to
the .. experts.
So WHAT .. would it BE to .. 'them' .. IF .. say a bunch of people got
together .. say .. and said .. "hey" .. WE .. are the study group.
Saves alot of time and money ..
I don't really know how bad lupus gets .. personally .. but I hear it
gets .. pretty .. bad ..
Sickle patients seem to be cured by keeping their hemoglobin down
around .. there .. coincidentally ..
Some people don't like to use the word .. cure .. but what really
IS .. "long term event free remission" .. ?
Who loves ya.
