totally unscientific.... but much anecdotal evidence that taking an OTC Claritin the morning of your neulasta injection and then 3-5 days afterward can really improve bone pain symptoms. The advice was too late for me (ugghhh that pain was really awful) but I told my mother about it when she was having chemotherapy and she never had ANY pain from her neulasta treatments.

Just a thought, and if you try it, I hope it helps!!!!
