Thanks, Lori we did use Claritin as well after the injections but didn’t take it for 7 days probably should have because he got some pretty intense pain in his shoulder and drs started him on prednisone for it. Have had 4 injections so far and will see tomorrow how well it did. Also do people get a low grade temp with the injections? Because with the pain in his r shoulder also came a temp which resolved within 12 hours. It was a little scary since his picc is on the right side. Drs did a trough check in him.

It’s really so hard to predict how long to take the Claritin. I had that happen too, when I felt 7 days was enough and then booom! Nope!! Too soon…back on Claritin a few more days.

Anytime we’re on chemo and get a low grade temp it’s really important to check in with the oncologist. The timing on the low grade fever after the Neulasta injection could be a small reaction to that shot, or, because we’re also at the lowest point of immunity, it can also be the sign of infection. So I’m glad his doctors checked to make sure that wasn’t the case.

How’s your husband doing with his chemo? I know he was reticent to try again. Appears he’s tolerating it better? Is he still on for the transplant the end of February???
