Title: Thal Minor and Procrit or Aranesp Shots
Post by: CuriousCat on April 28, 2009, 07:49:21 PM

Has anyone heard of treating Thal Minor with either Procrit or Aranesp shots? These drugs are used to help cancer patients with thier aniemia and basically make your body produce more red blood cells so you can remain more stable at hemaglobin levels of 11 to 12.
Thanks ;o)
