I've been diagnosed with anemia due to chronic kidney disease and my doctor prescribed Aranesp. It's been a few weeks and I've noticed some changes. I wanted to hear from others who have used this medication. Have you experienced any side effects? How has it impacted your day-to-day life?

I've heard a lot of people talk about how Aranesp is hard to get hold of. Is that true for anyone here?

My wife is on Aranesp and she says it makes her feel better overall. The side effects weren't too bad, but she's on a low dose.

My doctor told me that blood clots are a risk. I'm keeping an eye out for any signs and going to regular check-ups.

It's been a challenge. I've gained some weight and feel bloated, but I know it's helping my anemia. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm a healthcare worker and I can confirm that Aranesp does wonders for some patients. But it's definitely not a one-size-fits-all solution.

I've been on Aranesp for 3 months, I still feel extremely tired all the time. My doctor said to give it more time. So I am confused if it is working or not.
