My husband is on APD and we get a delivery to the house every 2 months so he can self inject.He is on aranespo 150mg. This gets adjusted as needs be. We are so lucky.

It's been a long time since I was on EPO, but can't you get it in prefilled syringes? I know that's how Arenesp comes. That way, there's no waste, because you use everything that's in the syringe.

Also tell Henry Ford you want to get your shots at a facility in Dearborn, maybe one of their satelites.

I'm a 58 year old Family doctor with Alport's syndrome. I've been on PD for almost a year. I've been on transplant list since May 2010 at three centers, Michigan, Cleveland, and Indiana. My brother has the same disease and is on his second transplant for about 12 years now.
