I was awake at 3am and 5am in excruciating pain. My joints and bones hurt so bad this morning it woke me up! I was determined not to allow this pain to ruin my day. It did happen to ruin most of it. I stayed couch bound for most of the day until I called the doctor. When I called it was about 4:30pm and he told me to take Motrin or the other pain medication I had. (NOTE: you can not take anything to "mask" a fever without consulting the doctor) I took motrin and started to feel a little bit better.
The pain that I had all day was in my neck, hips, thighs and knees. After speaking with the doctor he explained that the Neulasta has this effect and it is common. He also shared with me that this treatment is going to be the easiest so be prepared in the future. I hope that it does not get worse than this because I was in tears today trying to walk from the kitchen to the bathroom.
We have plans with friends Sunday and Monday and I am hoping that this pain will be gone so we can enjoy our Memorial Day weekend!
On that note: Thank you to all the men and women that serve and have served our country!
