I've been prescribed Aranesp 100mcg/ml Vl Albumin Free for anemia related to my kidney disease. The list of potential side effects is scary, especially the urgent ones like allergic reactions, blood clots, and severe skin reactions. I'm curious if anyone else on this medication has had any issues. I'm hoping to hear from those with positive experiences too. It's important for me to understand other's experiencens to get a clearer picture of what to except.

I had some shortness of breath and dizziness, I knew it was serious, but I called the doctor and they told me it was nothing to worry about, it was only a mild reaction

I've been on Aranesp for a while now, and while I did experience some fatigue, I haven't had any of the severe side effects. Fingers crossed you have a similar experience!

My husband had a bad reaction to a similar drug. Make sure you're in a place where you can get help right away if you have any issues.

I had some weird skin reactions when I first started, but my doctor adjusted the dosage and it cleared up. Definitely talk to your doctor if you notice anything unusual.

ugh, the list of side effects is terrifying. I'm scared to even start the treatment, but I have to since my anemia is getting worse

I've heard that some people get really bad headaches. If you start having those, maybe adjust to a lower dose, but always talk to your doctor

I had some mild stomach issues but nothing too bad. Drink plenty of water, that helps me
