For Anemia "I have had three injections for my low red blood cell production by bone marrow. I feel more energetic after the injection and for several days after. By the third, fourth, or fifth day, I feel as tired as before the beginning of treatment. Each week, the energy seems to last longer. I felt faint on the fifth day after the third injection. I recovered in about an hour and a half."

For Anemia "I have POTS syndrome and low blood plasma. My count in the beginning was 11.5, and a year and a half later, after going through heck twice a week, it made me very ill. Bad belly issues, just worse than I was. But I'm having that feeling I had before. I'm tired, I can't eat, I'm weak... there had to be something else they can give me..."

For Anemia, Chemotherapy Induced "I found this medicine to be a lifesaver. After my first month of treatment for CLL/SLL, I was thrown into chemo-induced anemia extremely quickly. After having a rough week with a small fever, my hemo-oncologist gave me a shot of this, and one week later, I thought I had been reborn! Terrific stuff and will help platelets out magnificently! Give it a shot, no pun intended. Feel better and take care!"
