Prescribed phlebotomy restored my life. I would assume that my condition is different than others. There is some great information (evidence) that thick blood is one of our likely issues. Some with higher levels of Hct, others with protiens and anti-body overproduction caused by virus. Men typically have too much fibrin that needs to be removed... I wish I was tested long ago and prescribed bloodletting, I myself would not have suffered for so long.
Ken Lassesen ( https://cfsremission.com/ ) also believes that for some people thick blood/high fibrin is seen in some people with CFS/ME.
