    Hmm, while I'm glad most of the scary stuff has been ruled out I'm still concerned something is missing here.
    I mean it could be due to excessive blood donation (which you've stopped) but if you are eating an otherwise varied diet it is very unusual for an adult male to be anaemic. I have heard of people who do lots of running getting 'march' haemoglobinuria (where you basically pee blood a day/two after strenuous exercise) but I don't know if that's enough to make you chronically anaemic (the blood may be microscopic and not visible to the naked eye).
