Dick,
I know they would not let me start Aranesp until my hgb was in the 9's. Now they keep it in the 10's with Aranesp. Actually, for several months in the beginning, I actually made it to the 11's. I function in the 10's, but I am slower, particularly the lower I go. Regs have recently been changed (like within last one to two years). That may be why they are holding off.
