Weekly blood tests

Found out that DH has to have his blood taken weekly now.  They're watching the creatine levels and red and white blood cell counts.  This stuff is hard on the body!!!  DH not thrilled to go in and get stuck every week.  Before he started this round, he had to get a PINT of blood taken every week for several weeks to treat his hemachromatosis so that he could start the treatment.  He became exhausted and week from that.  At least he's just getting his blood tested, not "drained."  Gees!
