I agree with that. My oncology group had us take antihistamines as well while giving ourselves these injections (in my case, 5 nights of injections). Yes, there is pain but probably is lessened just a bit by the antihistamine.

There were some treatments that always began with IV antihistamine. The Claritin was a separate approach specific for bone pain. The first time I used it I experienced about 75% less bone pain. Considered myself extremely fortunate.
