Just got my 24wk PCR back Still UND since 12wks.  Yea!
Hct/hgb low...9.6/29.5 Feelin like ****. Trying to push myself, but I feel so-o weak. I'm afraid to get weaker, I keep trying to do the trendmill. Got Procrit today, actually it wasn't procrit but something else. Can't think of the name...Arinap?? Something like that. Anyone hear of anything that sounds close? Don't even know how much I was given, but he said he would repeat it in 2weeks. It was given to me at the hematologists' office, SQ.
Rash is bad, hurts. Lower back pain. Bad headaches. Severe muscle weakness, finding it hard to go to the grocery store.
Ok, I feel better now LOL  Had to whine, long overdue. Venting was needed.  Thanks.  Silver

Hey congrats, Since we are both stage 4 thats music to my ears. 9.6 is low so take it easy till your hgb goes up. Best going forward.

Hi again...ALT is normal at 39, but AST is 60. At 12weeks they were 33/35. I don't know could be making the AST go up. I did start on Nexium, which MD said would be ok, but with stage 4, I have been very apprehensive about what I take. Other than that...I take prozac and lunesta...those I NEED, Can't have mood swings and lunesta does help with sleep. Although, with blood count down, I'm so tired I'm actually sleeping...alot. Which probably doesn't help with the weakness, the more you stay in bed, the weaker you get. Catch 22 huh.
