Andrea,
I think you would be feeling weak and exhausted, look pale,
and possibly have dark undereye circles, maybe feel cold.
The blood counts aren't accurate for me. I was able to
get Procrit at 12 from my onco. Maybe they've changed the criteria
to 11, it's been over two years since I took the Procrit.
Normal for me is about 14-15. Otherwise I'm feeling exhausted.
I can feel a huge difference between 12 and 13.
Fortunately my onco allowed me to take 1/2 doses for a time
following chemo. I did have to argue a bit.
I still had more stamina with the Procrit, than I do now at 14-15.
BTW my onco said athletes are caught using it as a stimulant.
There is a concern with long term safety, and a recent movement to prescribe less.
