Congrats Billy!!!  I am so happy for you, I could dance, but since you can't see that, I'll just send you a smile =)  Glad our prayers were answered.  I know you are willing to do what it takes but so, so happy that you are finally feeling on the upswing.

Wow. Aren't these amazing drugs? I won't be so afraid of Procrit now. I talked to a coworker who is on it today for other health issues. She said it keeps her steady. How long have you been on it? What dose? I know you're happy. It Worked!!!!  Karen :)

Did you ever get the correct results from your PCR?  9.1 no wonder you feel better once it starts going up it really matters.
