    If you are using this, what has been your experience with Eprex? Thanks so much for any responses.

    Hi Worried Daughter.

    My Dad used Eprex for about 4 months. It kept his Hemoglobin steady at 99-102. We were very happy with how well he responded and how much better he looked and felt while having Eprex shots. He is 80 years old and has CMML. He also has chronic kidney failure. His Nephrologist took him off Eprex and put him on Aranesp instead. Aranesp has kept Dad’s Hemoglobin between 125 and 145. With Aranesp we only give Dad 1 needle per month. We were giving him 1 shot of Eprex every week.

    Best Wishes,
    Caroline
