wow that aint so good... I get tired really quick when i take it then it bruise my injection site.. But they say that is normal.. Iam good though.
I was on neupogen for 4 months during tx. My doc said if I let the wbc stay low, I was at risk to severe infections.
I found the neupogen made me short of breath. It would make me very tired for a day, then I'd feel really good for a while but everyone is different.
Make sure to keep copies of your labs. You can see on your CBC's ( complete blood count) what difference the neupogen is making. If your wbc come up, you may be able to stop taking it.
The shots really hurt me until I finally realized to let them warm up to room temperature, first.
Good luck.
I take 300mcg/0.5ml injection once a week.. thats how mine is written out.. This is my second week into the tx.. I take inferon injection #3 tommorow night between 7pm and 8pm, so far not many sides..been doing great, The most i felt from that injection was a bit fatigue, i think it was from that..Thank GOD for his mercy.Do u feel better since u been doing injections?
I've been on neupogen since the third week of TX. Same deal, low WBC and ANC, 75% drop in three weeks.
Levels still haven't gone back to normal but did come back up to 50% pre TX level so I gotta stay on the meds 'til the end of tx, 33 weeks from now.
I do neup 480 every two weeks. What's your dose?
