"Helped to improve hemoglobin (Hgb) and hematocrit (Hct) and minimal red blood cells (RBCs). Feel positive results thus far. Side effects were bone pain for a few days after injection. Worst side effect was severe runny nose starting about 3 days post-injection, peaking about 2 weeks post-injection, and basically over at time for next injection."

"Couldn't breathe for months upon the least exertion. Extreme fatigue. Once the doctors figured out I was anemic due to chronic renal disease and started me on Aranesp, I have felt much, much better. The only drawback for me was a headache for a couple of days."
