Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. High white blood cells with itchy arms and iron overload suggests chronic inflammation.
2. Regular phlebotomies, means you are possibly suffering from polycythemia vera. Polycythemia vera can progress into other myeloproliferative disorders.
3. Bone marrow biopsy is necessary for confirmation. Better go to MD Anderson institute for further diagnosis and therapy.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
