Neulasta

[WFBCC]

Anybody used Neulasta? Just prescribed to bring WBC up before next infusion.

Yes, I was given Neulasta at the end of each cycle for the same reason. Be aware that it can cause extreme bone pain. I found that out after the first cycle and my nurse told me to take Claritin the day of the shot, and for 5 days following. It doesn't help everyone, but thankfully, it helped me tremendously. Check with your healthcare team before trying doing anything. Ask the nurses, they seem to know more about managing side effects of things. Best wishes to you.

Yes,I too was given Neulasta after each Chemo session.

I also experienced extreme bone pain .It really affected my legs so that it was very difficult to walk for a few days.

It’s one of those things that you don’t want to do ,but you’re glad it’s available to you because it allowed me to complete all of my Chemo sessions without interruption.

I wish you well, and stay strong.

It created permanent hip bursitis for me but you have to protect that immune system. I’m glad I’m here to moan and groan about my daily aches and pains.

[Salavie]

I have used Neulasta many times the first time mild Bone aches,

after that I was perfectly fine.. Don’t be afraid of it you have to have it to Bring up your WBC

I took neuplasta and was fine. No bone pain. Forgot I even had it on my arm and went an extra day wearing it empty.

I had a severe headache and bone pain something similar to flu. However, on the third day I felt good. It was 2 years ago.
