Ixempra--neulasta--neupigin
After My Ixempra Treatment, The Next Day I Get A Shot Of Neulasta And The Following Day Neupigin (not Sure If I Spelled Right). After Neulasta I Feel Like I Have Joint Pain Everywhere. I Have Also Been Running Low-grade Fevers. I Guess Hydrocodone Will Be My Best Friend Again. I Felt A Little Constipated Today (sorry If Thats Too Much Info). The Only Other Side Effect Is Fatigue. I Go In Next Week For Lab Work. Will Keep Updating.

Sheila,

Relax and take a deep breath. The joint pain is from the Neulasta shot. Whenever I get them I have such severe joint pain I'm in pain. Also the Neupogen shots can cause pain as well but not as bad.

Ditto. It's almost like having the flu. This too shall pass, but if it doesn't don't hesitate to call in to your doc.

Thanks for the update, I really appreciate as I may be moving on to Ixempra next.
