Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Hi , I am so glad you felt good enough to paint today :-) But, with a hematocrit as low as yours, your energy levels are bound to be very limited. I hope they call you about the Epo next week so you can get going on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I'm In Midland, Tx. I have no secrets. Man, I haven't been in discussions on the internet in 6 years. This is fun. Anyway, I hope I don't get in too much trouble for talking about non-kidney-related subjects. This sort of supplies. One source of major frustration with " all this " is we had tile put down about aweek after my biopsy, and then we were gonna repaint and stuff. Well, I feel bad that I have been so exhausted, and my husband has had to do the bulk of the work. That, and my parents have come over twice now to help paint. My theory is that they can't do anything about my kidneys or my job, but they can sure as heck help with my frustration over the slow progress of these home improvement projects. I finally had enough energy today to paint the dining room. It looks good. ANow it just needs a second coat. I don't really want to work all that much, but I have to support my redecorating scheme. HI leslie No, I'm a little further east that that, I'm in Scotland ) What about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Cy, I agree - I am really surprised about Jack's age too! I hope to emulate you when I get to your age, Jack. : ) Sophia > Jack, > Your post was a big surprise.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 only if you're anemic. Pierre Re: it's surreal > : I don't know anything about this " EPO " what is it and when is it prescribed. The reason I'm asking is that I have a problem with fatigue - I was wondering if it would be helpful to me. Thanks Rita > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi Rita, I know Pierre answered your question on the Epo, but I wanted to chime in and say it is a good idea for your Neph to keep an eye on your hematocrit to be proactive when it does start dropping. But, I am glad that your are not having to deal with anemia on top of your feet and flank pain at the moment. Your hands are already full enough :-) In a message dated 3/21/2004 7:59:35 AM Pacific Standard Time, ritanuch1014@... writes: > : I don't know anything about this " EPO " what is it and when is it > prescribed.
