AJVDK Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hello,I was taking 10,000 unit weekly. My doctor is holding off right now. I have not had a shot in three weeks. As I strated treatment for lymes. He does want so many meds, not knowing which are helping and which are not. I found that I got headaches the day after the shot, and somtimes my muscles would be sore, but overall I handle it well, without much problems.Are you just starting? I hope it works good for you!

briarrose Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I take 10,000 units a week. I sometimes experience flu like symptoms the first 24 hours or so. The first few times I had the injection my whole arm was hot and achey. Sometimes I have to go home and sleep for a few hours after my injection. The benefits that I've experienced since being on Procrit far out way the side effects.Hope it works out for you.steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
