10 is not normal; it is low. 11 is when they start to worry about you white count.

Kick - I am at Queen's in Romford part of the Royal London       I used to  get epo three times a week and it is not uncommon here. As my red count improved my dosage decreased and I now get it twice a week @ 4000.  For years I gave myself the shots. Last year we started getting it at D instead of from a chemist. Recently they have started to give it into the machine. They wait until you are almost done to minimize the effects of the dialysis on the epo.

If you have a reaction to EPO, what about Aranesp?

Agree a Hb of 10 (100 for us) is too low.
