    I just got my first injection of Neulasta yesterday, I however, woke up with shakieness, like my insides were a nervous wreck. I haven't had the bone pain, but I sure that is next. It really knocked me on my rear. I did great with the first round of chemo until this. Has anyone every had that feeling, at all with this drug?

    The first injection I experienced flu like symptoms, the second injection had me down for days. The bone aches, and heart attack symptoms were unbelievable. It actually was painful to put deodorant on.
