Hi Deb,
Good that you have been consulting the very best specialists in MDS!

Aranesp is sometimes combined with Neupogen (increases the WBC) or similar drugs for better effect.

Remember that all infections can decrease count so be very careful when you travel.

Some members of this forum have tried wheatgrass juice that is supposed to decrease iron overload. Do avoid drugs from Asia because they can contain metals, pesticides and coli bacteria. All drugs that really decrease iron overload will increase the HGB eventually because they reduce the free radicals in the bone marrow.
Kind regards
