Hi! New to the site-post treatments for Figo 2 stage IIIC endometrial cancer. I had done 3 chemo treatments every 3 weeks, then 25 daily radiation treatments, 2 brachia treatments and finished up with 3 more chemo treatments. My last one was September of 2024. The nurses that were on the infusion floor suggested Claritin to me for body aches. Unfortunately it did not help much. When I started the last of the chemo treatments I had horrendous body aches, it felt like someone beat my entire body with a baseball bat that lasted for 7-8 days after my treatments.

When I was taking Taxol, my doctor recommended taking Claritin to help prevent muscle pain caused by Taxol. I did get some muscle aches, but I think the Claritin helped some. I took it daily. When later I had Neulasta, I was already taking my daily Claritin. But I of course everyone’s treatment is different.
