Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hi , Epo refers to Epogen, or Procrit type injections that are for correcting anemia. They all contain a duplicate erythropoeitin hormone to make up for our kidneys not making enough. Normally, this can happen when you are below 30% renal function, but there are exceptions to that.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I'm glad Jill that it was easy for you. How does that work, will you eventually give injections yourself? Let us know how you're doing and when you can tell a difference. The energy level is something that I miss terribly. I constantly push myself, but I don't begin to have the stamina that I used to have. Connie EPO Shots I had my first EPO shot yesterday, piece of cake! I can't wait for that to start kicking in. I know several of you on this board said it makes you feel like having a boost of energy! I could sure use that!
