Does Neulasta cause severe nausea, migraines, and body pain for others?

I have a question for other people getting Chemo after the treatment the next day I get Neulasta , and that makes me very sick I feel like there’s a sheath over my head and my whole body feels like it’s in some kind of war zone. I know I’m supposed to get the terrible bone pain, but the nausea and the migraine headaches and the pains in my stomach and just feeling god-awful awful for four days and the burning in my chest does everybody else feel that as well?

Many community members have shared similar experiences with Neulasta, reporting various side effects beyond the commonly mentioned bone pain, including nausea, headaches, and overall discomfort that can last several days. Each person's response to treatment can vary significantly, so connecting with others here who've had Neulasta can provide valuable insights and support during this challenging time.

I agree. I also experienced those side effects but looking back, it was worth it. I am 2 years cancer-free and all the pain is just a distant memory.

Hi Charlene. Ask your oncologist about taking Claritin prior to the Neulasta and several days after…. Also Alternating Tylenol and Advil for those few days. Be sur to ask your oncologist before doing anything. Hope this will help if they say its ok. 💕

Hi yes I have to have Neulasta and it cramps my stomach but that’s the only side effect I have it on now I’m gonna look for other effects. I hope you get better.

I take Claritin for the bone pain. Not sure why it works but does. Except for the last time. Had bone pain in my feet and lower legs. Made it difficult to walk as I felt like my legs would give out. I used a walker in my house for 6 days until it stopped. Sleeping was interrupted also during those 6 days. Tylenol helped a little bit. I’ve been taking NeuLasta and this was the first time I’ve ever had a problem.
