Yes, I do Aranesp injections every other week. It took a few times but they started slowly bringing my hgb and hct to just below normal. They are strict with them I have to get my labs every appt, and I have to be below certain numbers to qualify for injection each time. But I think they are helping a little :) They don’t feel pleasant though. Haha. Hope they help you!
