Had life threatening allergic reaction to Neupogen. Published: September 27, 2007 ::

Being treated for Breast Cancer, I'm on my 4th month of chemo. Taxotere is followed by 2 days of Neupogen shots. I've had no ill side effects, and go to the oncologist for the injecttion. It stings a lot, but pain goes away. Published: October 27, 2007 ::

I injected myself, stomache area, six times from Tuesday through Sunday. My White count was very low. Tuesday night was bad. Pelvic area and lower back pain. Wednesday and Thurs bad too. Started taking 1/2 Percacette twice a day. This seemed to help. Recommend premedicating before shot to downgrade the side effects. Published: October 20, 2008 ::

I inject Neupogen 3 times a week, and do not like the shot. My white count is stable, and that makes it tolerable. I am on 1000mg Ribiviran daily and Pegasys injection for Hep C. These two drugs caused my decrease in white count. Published: July 16, 2008 ::

got the shot on Tuesday. Saturday up all night with pulsating pain in lower back both sides. Pain increased upon urination and defecation. Lasted partly thru Sunday. Published: February 29, 2008 ::

I have to take shots everyday, I have been on it daily at a lower dosage for about 4 months now, and I have now developed a great deal of pain in my kidneys and have started bruising so easily. It has stabilized my counts so that I am not getting sick as often. It did not really help when I took the larger doses 3 times a week. It was also difficult to get my insurance to cover the RX for me to take it myself at home. Published: February 12, 2008 ::

decrease in neutrophils in wbc, due to ribovarrin therapy and pegininteronalpha2a injections. Published: January 24, 2008 ::

Been on injections every other day for almost a year. I am a flight attendant for a living so when I work I am subjected to all kinds of bacteria and germs. This drug has been a life saver for me as when I was younger in the 80's I would be in isolation in the hospitol over and over since back then nothing could raise your white count. It has enabled me to have a normal life without becoming deathly ill. (Which happened prior to this drug.) I find that the lower my count is, the more I feel the side effects. So at times it is worse than others.Nothing too bad, just headache and some pelvic pain. This starts about 5-6 hours after I inject. It is aways gone by morning. As long as I stick to my schedule I do well. I can inject better with larger syringes as they hold more and I can inject it faster. The insulin syringes are more awkward...but are free with the script! Just make sure you always take your shot out of the fridge about 20 min before you inject it as it doesn't sting as much when it is room temp. Published: November 26, 2008 ::

helps in recovery during chemo. blood count bottoms out a week after treatment but with the meds it stabalizes a couple of days later. Very effective. Published: April 14, 2009 ::

No side effects. Published: August 03, 2008 ::

Take injections every other day. Late in day start to get a "distinct" headache. Just get slight muscle pain and pelvic pain. Interestingly, have two small places that look like a rash, one on each hand, that Dr. says is from the drug. This isn't bad but never goes away. HATE giving myself the shots.....plus I travel for a living so it is a hassle keeping the vials chilled! Published: April 22, 2008 ::
