It shouldn't - they don't take that much. I remember my PCP joking w/ me about not wanting to take too much blood from an anemia patient who didn't have that much to give.  You can lose four 16 oz bottles of soda worth of blood and not even notice. (Thank you to the ER physician who told me that one!) Hope your infusions are making a difference. Keep hydrated and get in as much light cardio as you can - that builds RBCs. Hang in there!!! I am not a medical professional.
"By knowing our darkness we fully receive and draw upon His strength. By nature, we so often want to be able to stand in our own resolution and commitments to the Lord. Yet God is committed to revealing the weakness of our flesh to us. He wants us to have a leaning heart at the end of the journey. He desires that we would not find our confidence in our commitment to Him but in His commitment to us."
