You may remember my telling you of my recurring anemia and the treatment recommended. Well it turns out that the amount of Procrit prescribed wasn't quite "adequate". I was prescribed only 4,000 units three times a week and am now told that I should have been receiving 40,000 units a week. The oversight has been corrected and I'm hoping that the increase will make a drastic difference. I still haven't received any definite answers about the frequency or amount of IGG that should be administered. If you have any suggestions or know of where I can go to find out, I would appreciate any insight you can offer. It seems my physician is far too busy to thoroughly investigate this problem. By the way, I will be seeing a new physcian this month. Maybe he will have more time to spend on my care.

Hello It's good to hear from you again. I'm sorry to hear about the sub-optimal dosing of Procrit. Hopefully, the higher dose will be effective for you. I'll contact one of my colleagues in Hematology to see if I can get you more specific information regarding the standard of care regarding immune globulin dosing for parvovirus. Hang in there! You've done a great job overcoming barriers in the past.
