Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Hi Pam........ I am sorry you are experiencing the fatigue all of a sudden........ that does go hand in hand with low red blood cells. As Glenn pointed out they will probably try reducing your meds first and get it under control. If that doesn't help then sometimes they add Procrit to build up red blood cells. You can read about it at www.rxlist.com It really does help and I wish they had RX'ed it when I was on treatment and got so anemic. They didn't use it in 1999 on Hep pts. so I wound up having four units of blood instead. You will probably have lots of up and down times on treatment. Just keep hanging in and hanging on! I sure hope you *clear* the virus! Peace and Love, ·´¨¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´.·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:¦:-Pam - the other one :-) -:¦:- ((¸¸.·´* " I have studied many philosophers and many cats.

It hit me on Friday and I can't do much without sitting down every 15 minutes. My heart starts to pound and palpatations start and I can hardly make it to the chair. I took my 3rd shot last night. My husband took me for blood work today. They are concerned my RBC is dropping. The doc may have to add still another medication. Any insight?.....I know there is a wealth of info here......thanks.....Pam. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
