It's been 3 weeks since I had the shot and every part of my body aches. Legs hurt too much to walk. Chest and back pains are over the top. Can't sleep lying down. Hard to catch my breath. I fell like someone is punching me up and down my spinal column. One little cough brings tears to my eyes. I don't know how much more I can take this.

First I don't know why I received Neulasta with WBC at 11.2 and first treatment. I asked the nurse why with my wbc being high. She just said Dr. Ordered it. Didn't call him to see. This is a drug from Hell. It needs to be taken off the market. Why make someone go through severe pain ? I hurt from my neck down to toe bones and everywhere else. Nothing helped. Claritin a joke. Called the Dr. ... Show Full Comment

This is a drug from Hell. It needs to be taken off the market. Why make someone go through severe pain ? I hurt from my neck down to toe bones and everywhere else. Nothing helped. Claritin a joke. Called the Dr. and left message about pain. I wished I was dead. Is this what bone cancer fells like? Lasted for days. Then wheezing. Could hear me all over the house. I have pulmonary fibrosis already and this is a side effect of Neulasta. So why did I get it? Told Dr. no meds that would cause my heart valves or lungs to be affected. Went to Er WBC count 19000. Was 26000 when I left hospital. No fever or chills. Dr. Believes overstimulation of wbcs caused it. U did have bladder infection. First they thought I had sepsis. I think Neulasta needs to have a survey for each person who received it. Is there anyone that has received Neulasta with a high WBC count? This med is serious. It needs to be reported to someone who can test it more thoroughly. It's something wrong with it. I told them I would nxever take it again and don't ask.

this drug caused me excruciating bone pain. Instead I used collagen which brought my white cell counts up wonderfully and with no side effects.

Can't rate effective as no blood test yet. I am hopeful it will be successful. I am a senior, I have given birth without pain meds, nothing in my entire life has been more painful than this.

Can't rate effective as no blood test yet. I am hopeful it will be successful. I am a senior, I have given birth without pain meds, nothing in my entire life has been more painful than this. Flu like symptoms started day after injection, uncomfortable, but manageable. injection on Thursday, but by Monday early evening I could barely walk. INTENSE and excruciating pain in lower back. NOT muscle, bone pain. Could not sit, laying down was worse, walking almost impossible. I have some pretty heavy duty meds for pain which I do not like taking but will if this continues. It is discouraging and disheartening that a med intended to help is so awful. And future effects? Who knows. I hope this helps someone be prepared for the possibility of this pain. Ask lots of questions, and good luck.
