Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 >>>occur after your pancreatitis because I did not have low levels until then? Please write back. Deb<<<< Hi Deb, I believe my anemia is from the CP, I have had anemia for years. But I also have Lupus, so that has added to the problem. The Procrit really helped, I have maintained my Hgb of 12 since October. I had to take the Iron three times a day with the weekly Procrit for 6 weeks I believe. Then 1 iron tab a day. Now I do not need to take iron unless I have bleeding from somewhere, which I do not since my periods have stopped (at the age of 45), but I am NOT complaining! Hope this answers your question. By the way, Procrit is expensive, and I luckily have a $10 co-pay, otherwise it would have cost too much. Take Care, Debbie, CA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
