How did you feel after the neulasta shot to increase WBC?
OMG got the pegfilgrastim shot after chemo and it kicked my butt..or maybe contributed to chemo. Ya fourth day sucked. Day 5 post first infusion I feel a bit better. What were some of your experiences. I took the shot at 48 hrs post chemo, next round I will take it at 24 hrs so steroid still on board.

Hi there, I moved your question about pegfilgrastim pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) to this existing discussion:

- Talk to me about Neulasta experiences https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/talk-to-me-about-neulasta-experiences/

I did this so you can click the link to read previous posts and join @loribmt and others with their experience with this medication used to increase production of WBC after chemo treatments to help avoid infections from lower immunity.

Several members were told by their oncologists to take Claritin allergy med to prevent and alleviate the pain associated with the Neulasta. Not Clairitin D, just the regular Claritin 24-hour capsule. Was this suggested for you?
