Celiac and CKD
I need
procrit
shots weekly just to keep my iron levels at the bare minimum. I’m not particularly interested in eating which may make the situation worse. If you have celiac and CKD how do you feel?

To use Procrit or not? 86 with end stage renal failure
His Dr wants him to start
Procrit
to help with the anemia. The side effects are daunting and he does not want to take it. Anyone have experience with
Procrit
?

What side effects did you experience while on Epogen/procrit/Aranesp?
Hi all, I started the Aranesp finally which is injected every two weeks. The first dose a few weeks ago went ok. I had a headache for a day but that’s about it. I just had my second shot this past Thursday and got a migraine that woke me from my sleep within two days. That’s gone, but my body feels like

Anyone on Procrit for ckd with severe anemia?
Nephrogist strongly encouraging
Procrit
shot, but I wonder if an iron infusion is just as good. I plan to ask him in the morning.

Verzenio Side Effects---Take a Break?
I am on Faslodex, Verzenio, Zometa, and (now intermittently) Retacrit (
Procrit
), along with pain meds, etc., but I really think it is nee of the first three that is causing the problem in my hands and feet (among other things).

Thank you
Thank you to all who responded to my
Procrit
inquiry. Your comments are very valuable. I have learned, and continue to learn more from this group supporting CKD issues, than I learned from any doctor. Personal experiences are very effective in education.

Procrit Injection. How often & what dosage? At home?
Procrit
helps for a short period of time. My doctor insists that I should go to him once a month for the injection but if my hemoglobin level is higher than 10 he won't do it. He wants to do blood work every month.

Platelets down to 21. Mets to bone.
He had been getting them once a month plus getting
Procrit
injections weekly for almost 3 months now. He has Mets to bones since Nov. 2016. We are so scared that he’s towards the end of the journey and don’t know what to think. Anyone else out there with experience of this problem??

CKD with ANEMIA and STARTING RETACRIT
FINALLY, I had to almost be crawling to the doctor before they'd approve RETACRIT, a newer generic of
procrit
. It is given sub q monthly and my first shot was July 17, and weekly blood tests are required.

Does Procrit fuel cancer?
My husband gets occasional
Procrit
injections to keep his hemoglobin from getting too low. But am starting to hear that this may not be the best route. Would love your feedback. UPDATE: His DR has said that he will pull back on the frequency of
Procrit
. . . due to these concerns.

Polycystic Kidney disease & receiving a Kidney transplant
I give him 3X week an injection of
Procrit
(not retacrit) and the numbers are going down still. His energy has been low since February and he does little around the house (he's retired) and I work full time. He has no energy and it drives him nuts. He shakes badly from medications too.

Mitoxantrone Side Effects
They're wanting to give my husband this one and I'm kind of worried because he was severely anemic on Wed. and had to be given 2 units of blood and plus they gave him a
Procrit
injection because his HGB was 7.5,HCT was 24.1, and RBC was 2.57. I'm so scared of what it might do to him.
