Just as an update I gave blood one more time and got my bloodwork back today .......the hematocrit number dropped all the way down to 48.5 this time
So for me at least it looks like giving blood regularly is the answer.

Sorry - I know this is an older thread.
To answer your question, there are 2 different rules of thumb I use to determine water needs:
1. Weight in lbs/2 = ounces of water. At 280, that means 140 ounces of water.
2. More recently - weight in lbs multiplied by 0.65. At 280, that means 182 ounces of water.
In every case, the amount is driven by body weight.
And most people are dehydrated, at least to some extent. - 02-22-2014, 09:15 PM

Of course the answer to your original question as has been said is to donate blood. I donate every two months unless my levels get too low then I increase the time between donations.

This totally correct and I am learning the hard way that it is not optional
I let some things keep getting in the way of me donating and now I am actually over19 on my hemoglobin this time. I have cut my dosage in half to 50 mg a week. When I get this under control every 56 days just like a doctors appointment I will be donating hell or high water!

I have a friend that goes to the same doctor for trt too. Luckily he does not have an issue with his hemoglobin or hematocrit. He went to him this week and the doctor made a big deal about the study that just came out, but told him he was good since his levels stayed normal. It probably will not be good for me to go in with elevated levels. That's the reason I have cut my trt dose in half and will try to stay hydrated. I am hoping it will come down enough to donate. I am trying to put off going back to him as long as I can, but in a few weeks I will just have to bite the bullet if it does not come down. Worst case is he will not give me another prescription. Best case is he will prescribe a therapeutic draw and tell me to never miss a donation again. We will see.......

I understand exactly what you are dealing with. Drs., to be supposedly educated people, seem to have a hard time understanding what constitutes a valid well designed that may not even apply in a patients particular case. There are several well thought out rebuttals to that study that you could gather and present to your Dr. If they aren't willing to listen, you should try to move on(which starts the process all over again LOL). Good luck. BTW, What part of Al are you in?
