Hi Birgitta--you are always "Johnny on the spot!"

Sheesh! What a racket! I have been on Aranesp and Neupogen for over a year! They said Aranesp took a long time to work, but after 16 weeks they should have terminated it?

Well, I'll give the Procrit a few months (getting it weekly now) and if there is not improvement, I'll discontinue it. Everything had side effects....Why take something that has no benefits? The only benefit seems to be to someones' bottom line! $$$
