White blood injection  is there any one who having side effect  mine are horrendous 

  • I am guessing you mean Filgrastim injections? Yes, I found they made my bones hurt. Ibuprofen and antihistamine tablets helped a bit but paracetamol didn’t touch the sides. I experimented with when was the best time of day to take them. Some people suggest evening but I found they made it difficult to get comfortable in bed. About 4pm worked best for me. It was worse in the first cycle than subsequent ones - I guess my body got used to them.
