    Hi, I started at 3025 in April if this year. I went down then up then down ...then in Nov I dropped over 800 points. Then this month another 500+. I'm now at 639. I'm hoping this is my last month of weekly phlebotomies.

    It can reduce in speed when you get lower because it's % game but each person is different.

    Other things that matters is your lifestyle/diet are you stressed or ill.

      No, I have a good diet, exercise and just the normal amount of stress. I guess I'll just have to be patient. Thanks anyway. 😀
