Aranesp 60mcg/0.3ml Sgjct Alb Free: Life-Changing or Risky? My Experience and Questions
I've been on Aranesp for about six months now due to kidney disease, and it's been a rollercoaster. On one hand, my energy levels have improved significantly, and I'm not as tired as I used to be. On the other hand, I've had some concerning symptoms that I'm not sure are related. I've been doing research but I'd love to hear from others who have experience with this medication. What side effects have you encountered? When should I be concerned enough to call my doctor? I've heard horror stories about blood clots and allergic reactions, but I'm not sure what to look for or do. My doctor recommended this medication for my complications with anemia, but they didn't give me much information on what exactly to expect. I have developed a cough and a headache but don't know if that is more than a cold. I'd appreciate any insights or advice you all can offer.

I've had a great experience with Aranesp. My energy levels are up, and I feel like I can finally do things again without feeling totally exhausted. But I've also heard some scary stuff about allergic reactions, so I would definitely keep an eye out for those symptoms.
I hear a lot of bad stuff about Aranesp but everyone is different and maybe it will work for you. I think its worth giving it a shot and seeing how it goes. But yeah if you get any of those weird symptoms then go to the hospital.
I've been on Aranesp for a while too, and I've had some weird side effects. I got really bad headaches, no joke worst headache I ever had. I also had some blisters on my skin, but my doctor said it was a normal reaction for some people. I just wanted to mention that everyone reacts differently, so don't be too worried if you have some mild symptoms. Just keep an eye on them.
I have kidney disease too and have been taking Aranesp, and so far, I've had no major side effects. I've had some slight dizziness, but nothing too bad. I think it's worth a shot if it means feeling better. But definitely keep an eye out for the serious stuff.
I’ve been on Aranesp for a few months now and I haven’t had any of the serious side effects. I do have some stomach pain and a slight cough, but it’s nothing too bad.
I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I’ve been on Aranesp for a while and it’s been a lifesaver. I’ve had some minor issues but nothing that a call to my doctor couldn’t solve. If you’re having serious issues, don’t hesitate to contact your doctor or go to the hospital. I think it’s worth the risk if you’re feeling better.
I had a friend who took Aranesp and had a really bad reaction. They ended up in the hospital with some serious skin issues. I'm not trying to scare you, but just be careful and keep a close eye on any strange symptoms. My friend is fine now but it was pretty scary at the time.
I'd be careful with this stuff. I've heard too many horror stories about blood clots and allergic reactions. I think it's better to look into other options if you can.
