Claritin (allergy medicine) will alleviate bone pain associated with medications used to boost white blood cells.
While being treated (folfox) at NYU Langone I was given the single injection version and the next two days I experienced excruciating bone pain…mainly in my pelvis.
My oncologist said Claritin wasn’t a “recognized or standard” treatment for this type of bone pain, so be sure to ask your doctor before taking.
Best of luck!

@sam7here hi, sorry for late reply. It’s been been a whirlwind.
I can relate to all that. Ai actually am up against something else daunting. I have very low platelets that’s stopping me from finishing my last two cycles atm. Plus I don’t want it interfering wuth surgery in a couple months. I’m a worrier. That was not a typo for warrior.
Thanks if you reply. 🙏
