Suggest Treatment For Myeloma
I just saw something on the local king 5 news that EPO was a proven assist for people like me with very low Anemia problems (Hematocrit @ 25). I was also diagnose Myeloma in 2012 and am now in remission. May problem is I just have no energy to complete any projects etc. Would the E EPO help my energy level? George Bennett

Hi there
while EPO helps build up your hemoglobin level(blood level)we can't tell you for sure that it will increase your energy level. Your fatigue or tiredness may be due to more than one thing considering that you had myeloma and you are in remission. I suggest you see your doctor to determine the possible reasons why you can be tired and if anemia is one of them the traditional treatment is to treat the cause of it. If the cause of anemia is not related to a kidney dysfunction then EPO will not help you.
