hola,
i will be walking starting in Saint Jean Pied de Port in mid august.  
Here at home every 2 weeks i get a blood test (CBC), and if i am 
anemic  (hematocrit less than 37), my doctors office gives me a shot of 
Procrit  (erythropoitin)Pr
I can give myself the shots; the problem is that the  Procrit is a very 
delicate molecule, so the little vials of liquid have to  be kept 
refrigerated. 
Any suggestions? How difficult would it be to get  a blood test along 
the way? and the Procrit? Procrit is a very expensive  drug. My 
insurance covers it here in the USA, but i don't know how i could  keep 
it cold if i carried it with me.
Martha
