The biggest problem I am having is severe bone and joint pain for up to a week after having the medicine. I have had 5 injections to date and it has not diminished at all. It very possibly is getting worse pain wise but slightly shorter duration. I am unsure at this time as to it's effectiveness. I am still having to have red blood cell transfusions. The last was a little longer between transfusions. The bone marrow biopsy showed that it is not producing enough red cells and those produced are not healthy. They have about half the lifespan as normal cells. The drug is designed to help my body produce more and healthier cells. So far, and it may be too soon to tell, it has limited results. The doctors are hopeful. At this time, there are at least six days every two weeks that I declare I will not have another shot! I may request that we rely on transfusions only, although I understand there drawbacks to that approach.Read More Read Less

I prefer using the Sureclick as opposed to using the vile. I do not have to measure it out in a syringe myself since I do my injectons at home myself.
