Hi @brendamarlene The Aranesp you’re receiving is used to increase your red blood cells. With MDS, sometimes the bone marrow isn’t able to keep up with blood cell productions. Most often it involves the red blood cells. In that case, it’s not unusual to experience anemia. So medications like Aranesp help the body to produce more red blood cells.
Have your red blood counts been lower than normal?

My red cell count was panic low at one time but for several months it has just been below normal.
