No kidding! One hour to the next is sometimes a new experience! I had my #4 shot last night and not to many sx today, except the low hgb.
My Dr. told me the same thing about procrit and insurance co. He freaked at my big drop from 16 to 11, but told me I had to wait. I called my hemotologist and he gave me the shot in his office. Can you get a referral to a hemo doc? What shot are you on now?

linda,
i could probably get a referral but since i'm uninsured it's just one more doctor to pay, ya know? i've depleted my savings just paying for tx so far. pre-dx tests, the biopsy, labs, etc. has cost about $15,000 so far so i'm kinda tapped out....anyhoo..:) i just did shot 13 last night and sx's have settled in. things change everyday. what bothered me yesterday has gone and something new has taken its place today. but hey. what can we do? sorry to complain- sometimes i feel like i'm so pre-occupied w/ myself it just has to be wrong on some level, but i'm a guilt-tripper anyway. you take care of yourself and keep in touch. it sure helps to have you guys. tracy

yes, I know it must be difficult w/o insurance. Just getting the energy to get on the phone to deal with this stuff is a struggle for me sometimes. Did you read the above post about the different care programs? I am sure you did, but they sound good. I think since my Dr. gave me the shot in the office, I didn't have to pay. That may not apply to you though.
Please take care of yourself and rest. It's draining to have the sx we do.
