Fatigue with Aransep?
 

Hello, everyone. I wonder if anyone can throw some light on my situation. I had my first-ever Aranesp shot on Monday and have been stay-in-bed exhausted yesterday and today. I wonder if the exhaustion is the Aranesp or the Vidaza I take.

I did not have any exhaustion with the first round of Vidaza I did in August so I suspect it's the Aranesp.

Not sure why my doctor wanted to try Aranesp with me rather than transfusions.

Any input on Aranesp and what I can expect from it would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I have not had exhaustion with Aranesp, unless my hemoglobin is down. I have had achiness--like flu aches, but deeper, and I get to feeling more tired from that. My hemo thinks it may be bone pain from the Aranesp. Naproxin works like a charm for it though, and I can be up and running again quickly.
