Hi there,
I definitely felt lousy on the Neupogen. I think that the shots made me feel worse than the chemo sometimes. I finally talked my doc into letting up with them and only using them in dire situations. My count was always very low and in the beginning I was getting 3-4 a week. Finally he would only give them to me if my count was less then .3 and I got a shot about once a week. I'm sorry that they are making you feel bad, just remember that its only temporary..
Love, Kelly
