Hi Bernadine, firstly if you want to reply to this message from me just click on the reply button below my message and then there's a continuation of the thread in case anyone else wants to join in too. You'll get the hang of the site in time. 

You get G-CSF injections, any chance the brand name is Investim, because that's what I take? I inject it into my tummy on Mondays and Fridays. The injection for my red cells is called Aranesp and that's an epi pen type. I take it every Friday. Both injections are to encourage my bone marrow to produce more white cells, in particular neutrophils, and red cells respectively. In addition I take 21 tablets daily for other things like heart, liver, morphine for a severe back condition and also because I have haemochromatosis I take one of the tablets daily to help get iron out of my body. My main side effect is fatigue. To be honest I don't read the leaflets in each packet because I don't want to think I have this or that side effect. 

If you click on my name you can read my profile. I have sent you a friend request. You aren't obliged to say yes, it just means we can speak privately. 

Take care Bernadine
